Left rear of car 1 inch higher than right
If it's an inch or less, perfectly normal for suspension to settle that way, engine torque does it over time. I've owned several V8 cars that have been that way. They've actually had up to two inches of stagger when they were really old.
If you don't believe engine torque can do this to springs, go find an old dump truck or concrete truck, they get massive leans as they get older.
If it's an inch or more, poke your head under the low side and look for a broken spring. It will be obvious with a torch.
It could also be a stuck shock, but they are pretty noticeable when driving, the car tends to lurch around the stuck shock. Way to test for a stuck shock is to merely jump up and down on rear bumper. If one side is stuck, it won't move much.

Typhoon, thank you for the reply. The shocks are brand new and everythings looked good When I checked. I did the rear shocks myself.
I have a question about your user name.... Do/did you own a GMC Typhoon ? I only ask because I've had one for 16 years now.

Nah, I was into Typhoon before the car came out, and by the way, the Typhoon was never released here in Australia ( actually, GMC has never imported vehicles down here).
I was once a big fan of the Hawker Typhoon aircraft, and the username has stuck!

You're going to copy the "IMG code" and paste it into your forum post.
It's pretty self explanatory once you get in.
