Left rear lower than right

[Jeff00000168]

Why is the left rear side of my X lower than the right? I replaced all 4 shocks and it's still the same. Is this normal? What is wrong with it?

Thanks in advance!

Just fixed that on my Mounty

You have the weight distribution lean that most suffer. Its from the gas tank, battery and driver all on one side. What I did to fix it was install Warrior shackles, swap leaf springs, and then adjust the tortion bars. Rides much better and I lost the rear end sag too.
A quick temporary fix would be to adjust the tortion bars. Do a search.

Hmmmmm..... swap leaf springs. I think I'll do that (and some shackles). Thanks again!

Simply adjust the rear torsion bars. I did it once, and I've been level since. I mean, if you want to do other stuff then great, but if you just want it level, just make a minor adjustment.

Excuse me? No such thing as rear torsion bars on explorers. If you mean traction bars only V8 explorers have them.

I did it once,

Then you definitely inhaled

 

[rizzjc]

Ahhh, you are right, wrong term I guess, and I guess I didn't know they were only on the V8. Sorry!

PS - I never inhaled.

ok, so what do i have to do then on my V6 SOHC explorer? swap leaf springs? adjust something? shackles?

OK, I have a 99 v8 and need to fix my saggy rear, its down an inch or so. I don't see torsion bars though, just leafs and the load leveling air shocks
