My truck has always leaned on the passenger side.... When i lowered it, i evened it out via torsion adjustment, but always noticed that the passenger side had more negative camber, SO after an alignment i figured all was good and got new tires on my crown vics..... Only to be disgusted and baffled once again. The passenger side of my truck looks SICK! Tires sitting flush with the body and all that jazz. The drivers side... STICKING out like an old school mini with hydros! WTH is going on here? I've taken measurements thinking my body wasn't centered on the frame, NOPE its straight! Alignment... No change. Weak torsion bar? Swapped it out for ZERO difference... Is there a possibility of mismatching spindles or hubs that could create this phenomenon? PICS: Front drivers side: Front Passenger side:
I agree driver side looks pushed in just give it a tug it will move if you still question the suspension measure off the frame to the hub and compare side to side just make sure the steering wheel is straight
I think its just the angle of the pictures... in person it just looks wrong. Well, it looks too far off to be a pulled fender anyway. If I lowered it anymore the passenger side would tuck and the drivers side fender would be sitting on the tire. I don't think pulling that fender to clear would even be possible, lol. I guess I will do some more measuring when I get a chance.
take a level and run it across the fender and see how straight it really is. but thats what it looks like to me. also, is the area you are parked in really level? if yer not sure, go check this at any gas station that has concrete slabs. they have to be perfectly level in order for their pump systems to sit safe on. take pictures then and check back in.
Yeah, even with the stock steel wheels the drivers side was almost flush and the passenger side was sucked in... I work a lot of OT and live in apartment, so I have to wait until the weekend to mess with the truck, but measuring off the frame to the tire tread, it appears to come out a good 3/4" on the drivers side...
Check the amount of camber shims you have on the pass side versus the driver side...could be too many, and that coupled with the lower control arm camber bolt...could be the culprit.
Well, before I got the alignment the passenger side was the only one shimmed, which made sense of everything... but now, after the alignment.... it appears to have no shims on the driver or passenger side and the two sides don't APPEAR to be the same. That's what is driving me crazy, lol.
With a level you can do a quick check. make sure floor is level or find a level floor. Place level against tire and then move level till it reads level (vertical) and measure distance between level and tire. repeat on other side. Roll truck forward a 1/2 tire revolution and recheck. If they are both the same and the hubs are both the same distance from the frame then it could be the frame to body mounts have shifted. You can check this by measuring the frame to body seam or radiator/fender mounts. A bad ball joint or a arm bushing can cause the wheel to sit differently. You can also check fender lip to shock mount distance to see if fender is pulled out.
