Sounds like you need a new spring back there. Goodluck.

I saw a thread a long time ago about this on the Corral. A bunch of guys kept changing parts trying to fix it, but couldn't really. I think most of those guys though had an entire side of their car leaning, not just one corner. I'd guess that your spring would be messed up before your shock would if one of those is the cause.

I know that a lot of Cars that do that. Mine has a lean like that too. I have been told its the was the car sits when it luanchs. When you race it alot and make it twist like that a lot the body kinda twists. Other then it looking a little different I don't think it mess anything up really.
