I drive a 96 chevy impala. The driver side is saggin a lot. The right side of the car is raised higher and the left is sagging lower. I put in brand new coil springs.(Didnt work), put in new shocks, (didnt work), I checked all nuts and bolt(everything is good), the sway bars are good. Me and meckanic were checking out for a bent frame(everything is good), I was thinking maybe bushings or something similiar can u please help me out before I put in more cash. Please
thank you for your help

Did you check the rear springs, also check the control arm bushings on the left side, where is it sagging at? Front left, rear left or just the whole left side is off.

Well the whole left side of the impala is sagging, that means the front and rear. The right side is at perfect heigth now that I put in new coils and shocks but whole left sags a lot. I did take to mechanic and he said bushing were cracked. Could that be an issue? Any suggestions.?

Thank you.

Yes that could be the issue, but its strange that its just one side, thats the only thing logical if the struts and springs been replaced.
