The lean

[Ghost]

I have been looking at my car and some where over this last season.

my car has developed a bad lean towards the driver side. :mad:

my driver side sits 1.5-2" lower on the driver side then the pass. :thud:

the front struts are were new and the front springs only have maybe 1000 miles on them. I have not had a chance to look to make sure the springs are sitting right in the perch. I cant see if one or 2 of the springs are turned all the way it being off by that much.

what are some of the things that can cause and how to fix it :cool:

Weak or broken spring,possibly strut mount or bearing in mount.Had this problem When I bought my 89.Also check rear springs,One side sat lower from hard launches,so I put spacer in right rear.Just some idea's :shrug:

I remember reading a thread about this on the corral, it was like 10 pages long. Tons of replies, but no clear answer on how to fix it. This is a very common problem on fox bodies.

I had it with my Fox body when I had it , I just had to replace the struts and shocks and it was fine from there.

I have not seen it as much with the 99+ (2000 GT)

the springs are almost new and the struts are only a year old, the only thuing I can think of is the shocks and the rear springs cause they are still stock

I would jack the car up and see if the spring is sitting in their perches correctly, or cut them to level them out:)

Alignment can cause the car to sit funny also.
