Was jacking my 71 by the pumpkin to get some underside cleaning done. As I was jacking noticed that the rear axle seemed to be hanging lower on the right side. As I let it down noticed that the right side settled flush into the jack stand while the left side settled with about 1/3 inch clearance on the other jack stand. Measuring further confirmed what my eyes and then the jack stands were already telling me which is the right side hangs further away from the body than the left side.
I'm guessing that:
1) the arcs on the rear springs are different (shouldn't be because they're new), 2) some of the attaching components for the springs are not adjusted properly or 3) There's an issue with the body.
Are there any other possibilities that would cause this? What should I be checking?
