i dont mean to offend you but the front tires are in the air, how would an unlevel ground mess with that?

WhiteNoise96 · 09-19-2008, 04:12 PM

ball joints? looks wierd to me too.

supasoulja · 09-19-2008, 04:13 PM

looks weird cuz the lower a arms are more or less in the same angle but the drivers side tire looks alot lower, think it might really be the balljoints?

minitruckerdt · 09-19-2008, 04:14 PM

could be the jack is off centered... and if the ground is uneven it will do that also...

supasoulja · 09-19-2008, 04:16 PM

yeah i agree about the ground but the tires are in the air and look at the distance from the valance to the bottom of the tires

slonlow2000 · 09-19-2008, 04:18 PM

Maybe its just lifting uneven, you had the jack right on the skid plate, and the driver side was the tank and steering column to lift. I think mine does the same when I lift. Measure the fender distance from the ground to see if its the truck or the tires and suspension

minitruckerdt · 09-19-2008, 04:19 PM

valance on straight?

supasoulja · 09-19-2008, 04:24 PM

its straight, i measured it up and its even from the floor to the valance

OneLowSdime · 09-19-2008, 04:26 PM

i dont see it

droppedime · 09-19-2008, 04:34 PM

Just throwin it out there but if it's not a ball joint. Could it be a busted shock, maybe a arm bushings, diff sized sway bar end links, Could be alot of things but it's deffinitly not normal.

X2, drivers side camber is way off and all ^^ that could cause it or a botched alignment.

Sorry, this is what I meant to say.

Have you measured anything? Measure from the center of the wheel to the wheel well.

~~SH-60B~~ · 09-20-2008, 09:01 AM

You're getting all excited over nothing. Even on level concrete with the jack perfectly centered it would probably lean to that side, with nothing wrong with the truck at all. The weight of any vehicle is not perfectly distributed side to side ( you already know it's not front vs rear). Think about what is on each side of the truck and how much this stuff could weigh. Steering column, steering box, power steering pump, which side is the battery on?, not to mention the fuel tank.
If the truck leaned more than an inch or so while on all 4 tires on level ground you might have some concern, but this lean while on the jack means nothing.

droppedime · 09-20-2008, 01:29 PM

If the whole trucks leaning thats kinda scary. I figured it was something holding up the suspension travel.
