truck droops to one side

Post by [gubeaut] »

I'm sure i will get some stupid remarks as well but has any one had problems with a gu ute dropping to the drivers side.Sometimes it sits 15-20mm drive around then its at 65mm drive again and back to 15-20mm.No its not the sub fuel tank being full(emptied) and Yes i have changed the coils and the shocks both brand new EFS and thought i would sus it out with you guys before i go buy more again. Even the boys at On Track cant figure it out as all the bushes have been changed as well

Did you install the longer springs on the drivers side?

The driver side springs are about 15mm longer than the passenger sides

As strange as it sounds my GQ LWB ( I know you're asking about a GU ute) was sagging about the same 20ish mm to the drivers side at the rear and through process of elimination I found my front sway bar caused it. WTF ???
I don't know either but as soon as the sway bar was removed it sat level and has ever since.
