The dreaded lean
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2004 4:23 pm
My F75 has had a case of the dreaded drivers side lean. Its been getting particularly worse over the last 6 months or so. The drivers side was probably 2 inches lower than the passenger side. Probably due to the dual batteries in place of the normal single one, and my fat arse in the drivers seat.
Solution. I had read on one of the forums I visit, that Nissan C20 van rear leaf springs fit Rocky rears. Surprised me when at the local dumping ground for wrecks near town, that a Nissan C20 was dumped and burnt. The rears came off real quick, and they now reside under the rear of my Rocky. The bushes need a bit of work, but apart from that, everything fits. I then took one of my rear springs and fitted it to the right front. This has brought things back to level.
Basically only a temporary fix till I get a new set of springs, shocks, bushes ect.
