So I was parked next to another 4Runner the other day and just noticed what I guess several people have noticed before, my 4runner is leaning to the passenger side. I got out my tapew measure and took it to level ground and found out the the Passenger side is actually 3/4 of an inch lower than the driver's side. About two years ago the passenger side was in an accident and most of it was replaced (incuding Suspension). If this were my explorer I was just torque down the torsion bar a little assuming it was the cause, but what can you do on a 4Runner. Please Advise.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

The stock suspension is pretty soft. The added weight of the gas tank (which is on the passenger side) can be enough to put a lean on your truck. Were both your front and rear passenger wheels 3/4" lower than the driver's side? If it was just the front, you can crank the passenger side torsion bar up 3/4", easily.

 

No it was both front and rearand strangely enough 3/4 of an inch on both, never thought about the gas tank though, that is a good point, I have to look and see if it was full.
Thank you

i dont think its all the gas tank. my truck leaned to the right no matter if it had gas or not. but mine was mainly the front. i had a little over an inch or so in difference. crank on the torsion bar a bit, careful though. i had mine done at the toyota dealer when i had my ball joint replaced. the truck now sits almost perfectly level. and yes, it leaned to the right as well. here is how you do it...
