Explorer leaning to the passenger side.

Hi everyone,
Just been out to the car this morning and noticed it leaning quite a bit to the passenger side, would this be the rear springs or the air shocks?...

Is there a quick fix to this or do I need to bite the bullet and replace some bits and peices?

Thanks alot
Chris

If its sudden I would suspect the shocks first- they do tend to lean that way in the uk- because of the fuel tank but only around an inch- if its more than that prob the shock- test it by jumping on the rear bumper- it should go up as usual if its working- may be a slow leak on that side!

Chris, I have known a leaf to actually break in a spring before, making that side much weaker. If it is this, should be quite obvious when looking at the spring.

Hi all,
After driving it for a while it has levelled out and stayed level overnight, does this point to a weak air shock on that side? If so is it worth replacing the pair of them with new/second hand ones or just wait till it goes completly?

Thanks
Chris
