suspension lean was created by Cider

Hi All
I`ve got a lean towards the drivers side.? I brought the jimny a few months ago from ebay with a 3 inch lift fitted so not sure the make of the spring "painted a dark blue If it helps" Looks as if they`ve been on a few years
Any Ideas

Cheers

Pete

Common problem i think, typical remedy is a single spacer to correct the lean. Have a look in the shop on here or on Bits4vits. IIRC some lift kits have 1 slightly longer spring to correct the problem.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

As mcjimny says, this is a common fault often referred to as Jimny lean. I believe it is caused because the front drivers side of the car is 30kg heavier than the rest (due to battery etc...). As you lengthen the springs the lean becomes more noticeable. I have a 3" lift and have put a 1" spring spacer on the front drivers side which has cured it
