Quite a regular

The reason your car changes level, on its own is due to worn out front rubber control arm bushings. I have new bushing kits. packardparts.org

I noticed on my 400 with original bushings some occasional "phantom" leveling, where the thing kicks on when the car is sitting still, long after any weight change, and also it tend to not level out perfectly. Especially in a "phantom" leveling situation, it often ends up more out of level than when it started. It's really something that only an owner would notice, thankfully, but I can tell it "ain't quite right". I'm considering a bushing replacement maybe a year or couple from now once the more important things are sorted and I get some miles on the car.

Dwight Heinmuller sells the bushing kits and also has a reproduction of the special tool required for safety’s sake to install them.

Yes he does and I got his kit, works well. However, it doesnt include all the bushings. I know it doesnt have the rear lower eyelet bushings (the ones in the front of the arm), the sway bar bushings or the front top and bottom stops.

I would think it's because those aren't as necessary for a properly functioning TL system. But especially the sway bar bushings, if original, should be replaced if you are doing the others too.
