94 leans to one side WHAT HAPPENED?
Hi guys. A question for you? My son was driving his 94 4runner and said he hit a pothole.then heard a loud thunk or bang. When he got home, the whole passenger side(front and back) of the body leans that way about 6 inches or so. I thought he might have blown a shock out so replaced it but the truck still sits at a slant. ANY IDEAS FROM SOME OF YOU GUYS that have been around these trucks would be greatly appreciated-thanks Steve

Bigt I will try that right now. It is dark but you can see it plainly. By looking from the front, the drivers side is normal and the space between the wheel and the fender is about 15 inches on the driver's side and about 6" on the passenger side!

A good place to start...
Is the body sitting lower or is it the frame that is sitting lower thus making the body sit lower?

if you look at the frame it is pretty much straight level when looking at the front(as if there was no body on it at all) but to look at the body is when you see the tilt, thanks and by the way your website is bichin, how did u guys get that white yota up that vertical rock ledge?!!!

And the body is leaning?
Busted body mounts? Got a body lift on it?
Thanks...that is a Tundra from the Ultimate Adventure...he sports one of my Hi-Lift Slider Adapters...it was in Petersen's magazine from the trip last year.
