Sets 1” higher on right than left sides

[Joe Sr]

Off frame rebuild all new springs, shocks and bushings. Set 1” higher on right side than left. Checked coil springs on left side from spring bucket to top of spring 13” on left side 12”. Anyone had problem or ideas. Thanks Joe

ride with a heavier passenger?

I'd pull springs or take weight off them measure without weight.

Is the vehicles fully assembled and driving?
Or is it still in pieces?
You can’t tell anything until it’s fully assembled. And even if it’s fully assembled, but the front is off center due to the lift, and not using a track bar drop or riser, that can make the difference as well.

I don't think I've ever owned one that didn't lean.

Heck, our 76 sits 1 inch higher on the driver's side. I have been around long enough to know the drill. C-bushing re-seating, new springs, etc. Nothing fixes it. Pretty much gave up.

Yep, I give up to.

I just dont look, so i dont have a problem.

I have about 5/8"-3/4" higher on the driver's side. I just call it "pre-load", for when my 285lb. ass gets in the driver's seat.

YUP! Same!

 

[Joe Sr]

Thanks for all comment. I like the pre load but probably try the reseating of bushings in the front.

 

[Joe Sr]

Well pulled the front end redid the C bushings as outlined from Duffy and it’s an 1/8” higher on the left side. My weight will level it out. Lol. Thanks for all the input. Joe

 

[MarsChariot]

You're one of the lucky ones! For many of us there are other factors in play, apparently. Congratulations. PS: We hate you.

 

[DirtDonk]

Ha ha! Not everybody gets so lucky. Uh, I mean good!

Congrata Joe Sr! Nice!!

It can be fixed.

Back when broncos were only twenty years old, not fifty years old.There weren't as many contributing factors to a bronco lean.

Back then, there weren't as many crushed body mounts on the frame (most common crushed mounts are under the DS mostly, but also PS floorboards), not as many bent frames, not as many bent lower coil buckets, you get what I'm saying. Broncos are old and have been used, and therefore other parts are worn out and can contribute to the "Infamous Bronco Lean. lol

Way back before broncos were selling for a $150-300,00 and when soft suspension, spring systems came out in the '90's
I randomly figured out what had caused the lean, totally by accident.

WH, Duff's and a couple other bronco houses have my write up from back in the nineties about C bushings and how they cause the lean when replacing springs, C bushings and (important) the lean wasn't there before- - meaning the frame wasn't bent & the spring cups weren't bent or something else.

Wishing ya an easy find & fix MarsChariot!
