Step 1:  Jack up the rear of the car, with the jack exactly in the middle of
the diff.  If it still leans, the problem is obviously not caused by the rear 
suspension.

Step 2:  Jack up the front of the car, with the jack exactly in the middle of
the front crossmember. If it still leans, the problem is obviously not caused 
by the front suspension.

If the front suspension is at fault, you might get a quick fix by swapping the 
left
and right spring/shock assemblies.
