My 2000 ZR2 is sagging in the back. I installed new shocks in front but now the front end is higher than the back. Could it be the back shocks, or the leaf springs? How long is the average life on the leaf spring bushings? I have about 103k mileage.


Thanks!

Your rear springs have probably started to get weak or have a cracked leaf. I would recommend replacing the springs.

By springs you mean leaf springs right? I can't find any other springs for the back

Leaf springs are springs too.
