2002 toyota tacoma 2.4L extra cab 2x4

How can I fix the leveling of my truck? it's leaning on the drivers side?
the truck was turned in for the recall on the chassis, and after five years I just noticed it was leaning. what can I do?
thanks Steve

Can you post some pictures? When you did the recall did they put a new frame under it? I thought the recall led to a buyback.

Toyotas are notorious for drivers lean. 100s of thousands of miles loaded up on one side will do that. They are also known for frame failures.

Check the inward facing side of the frame up around the fuel tank, over the rear axle, and where the round tube crossmember is welded in. These are the typical spots for frame rot. It could be frame damage, or it could be sagging suspension.

On the recall they changed out my chassis frame to brand new I would have to check if they didn’t put in the rubber spacers I didn’t do that yet.
