Leaning Tower Of Jeep!!!!

raider_man007 · 02-26-2007, 11:12 PM

My jeep leans to the passenger side, it always has. but after I installed my 2 1/2 lift it is worse. The coil springs are only 3 months old so I know that's not the reason. Anyone have this same problem.

Do you have a sway-bar? Or have it connected? Maybe silly but thats the first thing to pop up in my head.

the rear sway bar is gone. the front one is still hooked up.

Swaybar is part of it...whenever my swaybar is disconnected in the front...my jeep leans too, especially when I drive it on the road disconnected. When its connected there seems to be no problem.

I had a lean and found that my rear sway bar was bent. Check both front and rear sway bars just to make sure that's not the issue. If those check out fine, I'd suggest swapping springs left to right. I also found that one of my front springs (not stock) was slightly taller than the other. Switching sides helped with the leveling problem. With the rears, you can rotate them to tweak the height but only slightly. Trust me on that if either of the sway bars are not perfectly straight, it will translate direcly to lifting one side of the Jeep. Mine measured almost an inch different side to side, and I finally figured out that the rear sway bar was out by the same ammount.
I know how annoying that problem is... good luck with the fix!

You can even it out with adjustable swaybar disconnects like the JKS ones, but it will make it a little bit harder to get the discos on and off. Just shorten up the link on the side that is too tall.

you need a rear sway bar before you can determine what else is wrong
