Why does my truck lean?

[Greenleaf]

My truck leans to the drivers side. I know what u guys are thinking..... I only weigh 195

I'm serious..... it leans, noticeably! I have had it to two different alignment shops AND new Moog springs installed. I'm guessing bent frame???? I know this truck has been wrecked but,,,,,,,she drives so nice and smooth/straight. No front tire wear. I have parked it on a hill and it still leans to the drivers side.



Wasn't there a service bulletin about this "phenomenon"?



I really don't care to do anything about it. Nothing IMO needs fixed. Just weired.

Any frame shop can tell you where the problem is. you will have to pay for them setting up their frame jig though.

Are you a southpaw?

Truck is giving you a subtle hint... "Move me south!"

Scott... . you don't have to accept these remarks.....

Yes I believe there was a service bulletin or something on this. Heavy battery, fuel tank and driver, truck tends to lean to left. Someone aways back talked about this, they even used a portable scale of some sort and weigh at each tire. There was more weight driver side front, then maybe passenger side front, driverside rear, the right rear. Most of our trucks do this. Mine does. I think there might have been a solution of some type of spacer on the driverside front, or if one was to have the springs rearched, I would have the shop address this, tell them you want the driver side front level with passenger side front.

Left leanings

We should swap some parts from your truck to mine. I think we might have level result. I have definite leaning on the 420k 93 and a slight list on the 96k 93. Both to the right. The 85,89 and 92 sit level. I suspect the trouble I have is all in the rear springs.



Heck yes, come on down to the sunny south.

My work van leans left also I belive it's the springs in the rear.

Shock shock!! my 03 leans also, 1/2 inch to the left side, wtih only 1/4 tank of fuel:{ ADD more air to the bag and raise that sideOo.

My truck leans to the left, the previous owner put a couple extra leafs in the driver front spring to compensate. I got to looking at it, and the left cab mounts are noticably more compressed than the right ones are. I suspect new cab mounts will fix it right up.
