Rear suspension 740 estate

[not hereplease]

I had a recent problem with a rear shock which we changed, the car on the
side of the changed shock was low.

We have now changed both rear shocks and springs but the car is still lower
by around 1 1/2 inches on the one side.

I guess your car is lower on one side both in front and rear? Otherwise
the body must be warped somehow...

Your problem could just as easily be a broken front spring. I suggest
lifting the car in front and taking a good peek at the front springs.
More exotic problems could be bent anti-sway bars (front or rear),
although I never heard of such problems.

Has the car been in an accident (hitting a curb or similar)?
