really cant be fucked trauling the forum through old topics for this.

but has anyone replaced the body mounts and had luck with this stupid lean ?

or even just proped the body up slightly on one side so its not noticable ?

and lastly, is it just mine. or does everyones leans vary depending on the day ? .... some days it looks fine, others its leaning like hell !



thanks

really can't be fucked typing a reply to this... but if you did troll through the old topics you'll find that it's not a body mount problem & spacing the body mount is a bit of a band aid solution.

So you can't be fucked doing a search so you want us to type a special response just for you.

Sorry, you aren't special enough.

Armsup mate, your not really gunna get any form of help with statements like that, those that answered are in the above average class of suzi people who help all the time.

I hate to say it, but a bit of a quick search will tell you heaps on suzi lean, its as common as dogs balls, your research will also tell you how others have dealt with it, and overcome it.

Just thought I'd pint out that the lean isn't just isolated to suzukis
My daihatsu used to do it
Early (and late) land rovers do it

If the car has one person in it most of the time then it will most likely lean that way

Some quick ideas on how to fix it
*Sit on the other side of the car when you drive
*Get a fat arse rotund girlfriend to go with you everywhere - the lean might happen on the other side then
*Swap springs form side to side (this will fix it for a short while
*Get springs that are a slightly higher rate for the side that leans compared to the side that doesn't
*Get airbags for the back and pump up the leany side more than the non leany side

There is probably more ideas out there. BTW it took me longer to make this shit up than search for the real answers

I heard if you take the bottom all of the bottom leaves out of the packs on the high side, it evens it out. I was going to do this, but i couldnt be bothered.

Farken genius!!! Tho that costs money! Just increase the pressure on the low side to 40psi and drop the high side to 2! Done and dusted!

Put a 2inch lift on one side and leave it stock on the other, or a better idea is body lift one side so it looks like its level

I had someone tell me to shave my body lift to fix lean problems. I wanted to slap them but remembered they only ever had patrols so just walked away so I didn't hear all the dodgy shit done to theirs..

zooks are supposed to lean. any regular 4by can sit level,

a leaning zook is sticking it up the shiny bling busses and telling them "bin there done that, get outta my way cause I'm ready for more"

can you make them adjustable as the OP states that some days it leans more than others? surely a man of your calibre could be able to accommodate such a request. :D
