My 64  Convertible is sagging on the left side. It was not very noticeable
when I  bought the car in 2001, but is very noticeable now. The front left
corner  is 1/2? lower than the front right. At the rear, the difference is
much  greater. The rear left corner is 1-3/8? lower than the rear right.
My guess  is it needs new springs.
I?ll add new shocks too, if the springs are being  replaced.
Should I consider replacing the transverse leaf spring?
Are  there any other possible causes I should look at?
Any thoughts and advice  will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

One question (and this is not humour)--how tall are you and how much do you
weigh?  The reason I ask is that I have seen several overweight Corvair
owners (myself definitely included) who have trouble with sagging chassis
(the  
car's)  on the driver's side.  New springs and new shocks would help  on a
temporary basis but a long-term change in eating habits might produce
better 
long-term results.
