I have a 98 v70xc it seems to be leaning to the left when parked on my driveway, when I bought the car last year I had to replace the rear (expensive shocks) I did find some new oem volvo online, a little cheaper, I have had the car on my hoist, but I can't seem to see anything wrong, Looking for advice, am I missing something? I tried searching .

mine leaned a bit when i was installing rear shocks...didn't get one of the coils set in right. you could try re-installing the coils, although it's a pain.
but i noticed right away.

I'm a fairly heavy dude and I don't make a stock suspension noticeable lean... so I don't think that's it.

ok, scratch that. ;-) I've just heard of people weighing 300 lbs who can affect the suspension. Had to ask.
is it the whole car or just the rear?
I still think maybe the coils are not seated properly.
