It’s most probably leaning because of a worn or failed knuckle join or saggy cone, Would also be best to do both sides to help balance and the handling of the car.

also how would I remove a dent from just above the rear arch?



The best way I can think off and the way I’ve done it in the past, would be to take the side window and rear card out,
Then using a small hammer and flat block of wood held against the outside of the panel, and gently beat the dent out from the inside.
if you take your time you might getaway without using too much filler.

Quick skim of filler, sand down, prime and repaint.
