Leanin' to the LEFT...?

RedLilPony · 11-07-2002, 09:28 AM

OK This sounds retarded BUT I need help before this problem gets outta control!!!

I walked out to my car last night and Beauty was leaning . The driver's side is lower than the passenger side! I heard that it is because of the lowering springs and weight only being on the driver's side... Anyways, anyone else have this problem? How do ya fix it?

THANKS!!!

Take up bowling, and keep the ball behind the passenger seat.

This is very common on Fox bodies, but I'm not aware of it being a problem on the 99 and newer Mustangs. At least not yet. It's usually caused by worn out springs. The drivers side will always wear faster than the drivers side for the simple reason that there is always a driver in the car when it's being driven, but there isn't always a passenger.

Take care,
ÅChris

lol That's an interesting one.

I guess there is no real way to fix it unless you replace them and at that point you'll have to do both sides. I guess ya can always just throw some really heavey crap on the otherside.

Good Luck,

I thought this way going to be a political thread. I was getting all ready to start bashing liberals.

How noticable is the lean?

Repave your driveway and have them lean it to the right a smigin ... that way you won't notice it and life will once again be good

Mine did that real bad and I replaced all the springs shocks, struts and bushings and it still did it... what it was for me was the spring isolators were shot to ****. Got some from www.p-s-t.com and never had a worry since!
