Search through some old posts. I don't know why it is..but some mustangs seem to have that problem although I've seen most complaints after aftermarket suspension upgrades. There should be several old threads about this you can look through.

Good Luck.

Mine leans with the stock suspension. It is a very common problem on the 5.0. Maybe it flexes the body just a bit and that is what causes all of the ashtray doors to break?

maybe the isolater bushings are worn away on the springs, or like everyone else it could be a tweeked body.
