what have you guys done to fix this mine has a huge lean did you get them reset or swap just the fronts left to right or just the rears left to right?
thanks guys

[89_tintop]

there are a few ways

options are
-remove leaf from lhs (if not already removed load leaf)
-swaps springs left to right
or
-new springs

dont bother with resetting springs. i did the research on it and they nearly always sag back down fairly quickly. plus it cost a fair bit to get done

[mudzookacoatsy]

y do they do it for? i was told cos all the wieght is on that side

[skitzlux]

the springs arnt even a year old but ive taken 1leaf out of the fronts and 2 out of the rear they are king springs so now the fronts have 3 leafs and the rear have 3 leafs

put the leafs back in.

but what makes them lean more to one side and ill loose some flex and its already stiff now from my standard springs to my lifted ones i lost over 100mm of flex

[shep]

it is a little car. most blokes weigh 10% as much as there sierra, plus all the
other stuff heavy stuff like a battery.

in the front of mine i have 4 leaves on the passenger side and 5 on the
drivers, 6 on both sides in the rear and mine flexes well plus i have no axle wrap problems.

[skitzlux]

what springs do you have what brand and does yours have any lean

[shep]

mine leans a little(10mm) when i am in it and don't have a passenger. calmini springs.

[MrRocky]

i run the swaybar onroad which seems to help.

[needmorelift]

can't say i have a lean in mine and thats with new 2in lifted springs about 6mth old now and 30s

Now I know why you all got pissed at me when I was new here. It takes a while for most of us to find the SEARCH button....

Mine sags down on the drivers side like I think it's a few cm withought me in it.. It sags cause u got ur spare tyre u got ur battery u got ur steering wheel and all that u got the diffs and the carby.. Friggen everything Is off to the right lol. And that's withought an 80kg driver

The Lovells lifted springs that I got are taller out of the car on the drivers side, which corrects the lean perfectly once installed... Pretty sure any decent quality springs will be the same...

where do i find an 80 kilo driver ????

[alien]

yep - mine with stock springs had the lean, then had 2" lovells in which corrected that and gave me lift etc... now SPOA on lux leaves and no lean, which is weird cos its only a 3-leaf pack (soft).

mrRocky's LWB leans like hell =) but he's like, 15ft tall and rarely has a passenger.

[Ben_Sierra]

Mine probably leans a little with 100kg in the drivers seat...

Minus diffs. Unsprung weight, springs are not supporting them.
Adding an extra leaf to the drivers side usually fixes it

[Myles]

Haha just an example buzooka
An yeh dan ur right I didn't think of that. Mines a coily though so I don't really know what to do about it.. It's got a 2"spring lift and it's still saaaging. Dad reckons I should swap the springs around but I don't think it would be worth it..
