Adjusting rear vehicle height
The rear of the car is not level. There are brand new shocks and coil springs. All of the bushings are good and intact. I put a level on the rear and it's off about an 1/8 of an inch and from behind it's very noticeable. I see it has a trailing arm is there some way to adjust the rear suspension to correct the height and get the car level?
Thank you
Thank you

I bought the car with the new parts on it from a relative. They said the car has always sat that way. I'm not a Chrysler guy but I figured it would just be a simple fix with perhaps some way of adjusting the height. I have checked front and rear and only the rear is unlevel.I'm adding an image I hope it helps.
Thank you

could be the whole car unibody is slightly twisted. that usually makes doors a little 'off' shutting hard or latch problems.

always been that way? manufacturing defect? should have tried new spring that side only? i assume all tires same size/diameter?
