Calmini suspension lean

[scooby_74]

95 !.6 lwb vitara , what would be a normal suspension lean for the calmini suspension?
Ive noticed that they all lean to the right to a point.

its more to do with the engine torquing, fuel tank, driver, battery etc all being on that side of the zuk... its more common in sierras than vitaras but generally its because of that extra weight and the manufacturers dont account for it - or in calmini's case the driver is usually on the other side so it prolly balances out =)

What lean? Mine has always been within a few mm either side on a 1.6 lwb, 1.6 swb and 2.0 swb although the 2.0 swb is running different front springs. The Calmini front springs are not that great and can sag so maybe yours has sagged on one side only.

I can vouch that Cj's eleventy builds with calmini suspension all sit level.

After I fitted the Calmini lift to mine it had a lean to the right, used to annoy me no end.
So I fitted a 1 1/2" spring spacer to the right rear to balance it out.

[scooby_74]

This one has 15mm lean to right, was thinking of a 10mm spacer under the right rear coil.
That and or swaping rear coils left to right.

Tried swaping springs still had the same lean.

Go a spring spacer, there is a guy in the England that sells them, much better design then I have seen over here.

See if I can find this ebay pages.

Also my spring spacer is on the top.

scooby_74 too bad you are not in Brisbane, because I was going to buy a set off him I know someone else that only wants one as well.

Here is the link the the spacers.

I now see he sells them in a set of two or four, good to have a spare, not that mine has failed yet.

Not a vitara I know but my sierra with calmini lift leans, as mentioned I think it has more to do with weight. I put the spare on the passenger side to help combat it and I plan to do some more weight shifting soon.
