leaning tower of jeep?

rockhead · 05-11-2005, 10:07 AM

Does any one else's jeep lean. My front passenger side is much lower. I took some measurements and everything is pretty much even until you get up to the body. I have an 1 1/2" more clearence over my driver tire than my passenger tire. Any ideas on what it is? Could my axel be shifted or something? It does look like the perch on passenger side of the axel has some damage.
Thanks for any help

If everything is even from the suspension to the frame, that might indicate some bending in the fender or tub, maybe body mounts.

Blown shock?

I know you said you took "some measurements", but it's a possibility...

Measured the shock also they were pretty close. If it is a body mount would a body lift fix it. I am considering doing a 1" bl lift.

Depends. If it's a cracked mount at the frame, or a collapsed mount at the body, a lift wouldn't do anything for ya. If it's simply the rubber, that can be replaced with a kit that includes everything.

I would think it would still lean .. unless you only put the lift on the side that's low ..

I have the same problem

1990 I-6 with the passenger side lean - My drivers side is about 1"higher and after checking the spring heights and angle of the body - it seems like the body is twisted or not fully supported on the passenger side - Visually the body mounts I can see look fine - about even on both sides - but I am assuming the problem lies therein
