        Try pushing your car a few feet while its empty to relax the 
rear suspension before you check to see if its level.  The car 
won't sit evenly with one passenger in it, and the design of the swing
arm rear suspension won't allow the car to level when the passenger 
exits without rolling a little.  If you do find that your car isn't level,
chances are the problem is in both the front and the rear springs.
