Mounty Leaning

[DC Larson]

Hello,

Ok, I hope I don't get fried, but I've done a search on this and didn't come up with anything helpful. My Mercury leans to the drivers side. It only has 26,000 miles and the previous owners were "little old people"....meaning not heavy. Neither is my wife or I. Is it just the way these are? Why?

I plan on putting Air Bags (Air Lift brand I think) on it. Will this solve the problem? I put them on my pickup and used an air valve for each bag. Sometimes I wonder if I should have ran both lines into one air valve, with the idea that each side would "stabilize" and be level across the back. Right?

Should I put one air valve on the Merc in hopes that it would stay level or would the suspension just make it lean again anyway? Or should I put valves on each bag like I did my pickup? I want to fix this leaning thing! LOOKS BAD!

Is there usually only the driver in the truck? If so this happens quite abit. You might be able adjust your T-bar on the drivers side to fix it. Hope this helps some.

You'll come up with lots of suggestions if you search for "driver sag" or "lean".

I believe if you back off the passanger (yes I said passanger) side tortion bolt about a quarter turn that may help relieve it...

i have air bags in my explorer and they have helped take care of the lean in the back.. they also have helped with the sagging.. if you are planning on trailering just putting 5 people in the explorer then it is worth while. I am selling my explorer and will be taking the air lift out within the week so i will put it up for sale. it include two air bags, the tubing, an onboard compressor and guages.. if u need any more information give me a yell
