Lincoln Town Car leans to passenger side

I have a 1997 Lincoln Town Car [Cartier Series].

It has always leaned to one side (passenger side).  This, however, has
never impacted drivability.

What would be some reasons why a big, body-on-frame sedan would lean
like this?
Leaf spring is only plausible answer to me.
If it were a front spring, there'd be a drivability problem and I'd
have heard a noise at
some point.  The car is quiet and still exhibits a smooth ride.

Any suggestions?

I may be wrong but I believe you have air bag suspension on that
model.  Could be something in that system that is acting up.  May be
as simple as a leveling sensor that is out of whack.

The rear has load leveling air springs, with only ONE height sensor,
Every one of these I've seen that do that listing thing can be traced to
a "tired" or mismatched front coil spring.

Is the person who rides in the passenger seat 300 lbs heaver than the
driver? ;-)

I am wondering if you have some sort of  load leveling feature that
doesn't work well and lifting the driver's side more than the passenger
side.

I see your point. But I really meant the air bag suspension that Steve
B. Talked about.

But what if the person who is "lifting the driver's side" talk so much
that (s)he is an air bag, as well?

Your passenger should try cutting back to a dozen donuts a day.
