Front end sag on a 97 Explorer 5.0 AWD.

[MarkyDe]

I am looking for some help! I recently bought a 97 EXP 5.0 AWD. It is a great running SUV and very comfortable to drive...I have put 7K miles on it in only two months, so I know what I am talking about
When I have it sitting on level ground, the front end is sagging to the driver's side. I was wondering if its a bad shock, because I checked tire wear and it seems to be uniform all around the tire. Is there an adjustment or is something worn out and needs to be replaced. Thanks in advance for all of your help!!

welcome. shocks are only a dampener, they don't provide any additional ride height. You have a couple options. One is to jack the front end up, and tighten the torsion bolts (search on here for a torsion twist). Option 2 is to find your torsion bar code (drivers door jamb) and reference it to the chart on this site. There were 3 options for the stiffness of the torsion bars, though I believe the V8s had the strongest ones. Wouldn't hurt to double check. Obviously option one is easier and cheaper. best of luck
