01 Leaning Runner
I've got an 01 Runner SR5 Sport that I bought with 60K on it back in Feb. It was leaning a little to the left so I replaced the stock springs and shocks with OME goods. Love the slight hieght increase and feel, but the rig is still leaning to the left. I took it to the place I bought it, Portsmouth Toyota in NH, no problems found. I moved to California a couple months ago and took it to a Yoda dealer out here, no problems found, other than the lower ball joint recall they performed. I'd say it's 3/4 to 1in lower on the left looking at it from the front or behind and everywhere I've been says the suspension is fine. Any Ideas? I've never seen if it leans more with me in it, always have looked at it empty. I drive by myself most of the time but that shouldn't matter given that right after the old man emu parts were installed it still leaned. Any guesses appreciated because this simple little problem is driving me nuts.

Can't find my digi cam. Once I do I'll get a pic or two on here. I don't see how a pic will help anyhow, will just show that it's leaning. Still, I'll get one when I find the cam. Just had something from an overpass bust my window real good, oh joy. Any advice on 265/70/16's like I have right now vs. 265/75/16's, as I'll need tires in a couple months, probably BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A's.

There have been previous threads regarding a front height difference due to reversing one of the bottom spring plates (don't recall the terminology) on one of the front shocks. The dealership had done that to mine and it leaned was about 1" or so taller on the one side.

[QUOTE=98LimitedCustomized]I hate to say it but mine kinda looks the same, and I have the same setup.[/QUOTe
How do you like your 265/75/16's over 265/70/16's??? Are they taller by about 1/2" or so?

Try measuring the frame on the driver side and then the pass. side. If they are even, then check the body mounts.
