Crooked Truck
When I look at the back of my Tacoma, the left side is taller than the right side(a 1/4" to be exact). I've never seen this on any of my cars that I noticed. What is causing this? Was it in a wreck maybe? Old Suspension?

If I'm not mistaken the gas tank is on the left side of your truck and the springs are setup to account for that plus the weight of the driver. Check it when you have a full tank. Mine always sat lower on the passenger side and cranking on the torsion bar fixed that - but you don't have torsion bars.

hmm mine sits lower on the passenger side rear too, maybe oneday i'll get aroudn to messing with the torsion bars..
hmm being it'll bug me now that I know I can fix it and I'll most likely fix it tomorrow, loosening the bolt on the back end of the torsion bar is to lower correct? and will this mess with my allignment much? since i'll be going on a pretty long trip this weekend that kinda concerns me.

Do it after your trip. I only messed with my passenger side bar and I've noticed the alignment is a little off. When it is very noticable is in crosswinds.

I'd leave it alone. I've noticed when my gas tank is full the right side drops 1/4" and the left side goes up 1/4" so the difference is 1/2". It levels out even at 1/2 tank.
