Yeah, what fordem said... try swapping the passenger side springs, with the drivers side springs, and see if that helps...

Hi all, My 89 Vitara leans to the drivers side when parked on flat ground, I have replaced all 4 springs and shocks with new ones and still it leans to the right, I also cracked the front and rear control arm bolts while the car was on the hoist and retightened them up, it all seems straight under the car, not sure what the problem could be. My mechanic suggested packing spacers to correct the sag . Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

Did you use the correct springs and did you install them correctly? Most manufacturers supply springs in handed sets, with longer ones for the driver's side to compensate for uneven loading. |

It was leaning to the right before I replaced the springs, I thought new springs would have corrected the lean, all springs were installed correctly. I just might have to use spacers as suggested. |

My brand new calmini kit leans to the right too....I put it down to the weight of the spare tire. Have you check tire pressures? |

grab a tape measure and measure some corrosponding points each side. could be the body sagging on the chassis rather than anything to do with the suspension |
