Vehicle leans

Ok gang,



Here is one that I can't figure out. I have noticed that my truck is leaning to the left. I.E. vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface and looking at it, it's visibly leaning to the left. What the hell would be causing this. The rear leafs, both sides, are brand new, so I doubt that is the cause. All tires are inflated correctly. The vehicle is a 99 Silverado Z-71.


Possibly you have a weak or loose front torsion bar.

Or alot of weight on the left side. ;^)

At 160# I doubt it, but thanks anyway.

So, if it is the t-bars, how do I know what I should replace them with. The stickers that should be on mine, are, so I don't know what weight rating they are.

I would think that in glove box there are a bunch of option codes on a sticker that don't mean much to you or I unless you have a book to decode them. But if the torsion bars are bad and need replaced the dealer can determine what the correct parts are by the codes. Again it's just a speculation but I would look at them.

Well, it sounds like pretty sound speculation to me. I can get a set of bars for 50 bucks off a wrecked 02, so what the hell.

Make sure that their interchange book shows that they fit your 1999 Z71. I don't know if they are any different or not.

Yer low on blinker fluid on one side.

Damn, I knew I forgot to check the blinker fluid!

maybe he has the winter air in his tires instead of the spring/summer air.

Glad I could help

You could check the Muffler Bearings. They always went bad on mom's car causing all sorts of funny things.

but that would be a moodification and it wouldn't pass inspection. ROFLMAO!!!
