Leaning L200

[skywolf]

I was parking in my driveway and turned to face my L200 in the garage when I noticed it wasn't quite "straight". Upon further inspection:



All measurements taken directly behind the wheel wells from ground to car, same spots front and rear:

Front Driver: 6.5 inches
Front Pass: 7.5 inches
Rear Driver: 9.8 inches
Rear Pass: 10.0 inches

The rear difference is not bad but the front is an inch difference, what could account for this and do I need to have it looked at asap? Other than that, no problems with the car, no rough riding, steering issues and tires are fine.

What is the air pressure in the tires? Mileage/age of shocks?

The tire pressure is up to spec. The shocks are 8 years old and have 65K miles. They are original.

I have a 2003 L200 with 150,000 miles. I have broken and replaced 2 springs, the passenger rear and the front driver side. I suspect that it may be the issue. The rear spring made the car drop a few inches, but was not noticable enough when driven. Have the car lifted and look at the springs. When you grab them are they loose? do you see an actual crack or break?

I'll have to get back to you on that lol. I will check that out. A friend of mine said it was fairly harmless to drive like that and that it's just normal because of the constant weight on the driver's side of the car and the motions of driving and getting in and out. I noticed a few years back the car was slightly tilted, but not's it is really noticeable =p
