    Got it! It's a 1975 Reliant Robin!

    Your problem is that the Reliant Robin is a three-wheeled vehicle. If you see two front wheels, someone has probably shoved one under there as a joke. That is what's pushing it up on the driver's side and making it sink on the passenger side. Also, check to make sure your severely overweight mother-in-law isn't still sitting in there; those little cars really aren't made to haul that kind of mass.

    shocks and springs, shocks and springs!.. and pads and mounts.

    the back left spring might be cracked, or the spring pad disintegrated.

    might as well get all new ones to sharpen up the handling while you are screwing around with the suspension
