Re: H3 Lean to Left... Service - once again
 
I got my truck leveled. I got daring and started adjusting the torsion bars. The left and right front were out of balance, the right was too stiff and the left was too soft. The left front being soft was allowing the right rea to rise up. I visted my local Hummer dealer and took measurements on several 2007 H3's. The surprising part was this is a big issue, i checked over a dozen vehicle and no two H3 sat the same. They were all at different heights front and rear and all leaned to the left between 1/4" - 1". For my H3 I ended up stiffing the left front torsion bar by 2 3/4 turns, and softening the right front by 2 1/2 turns. The truck is now level left to right int he front and the rear and has a 2 1/4" rake in the front. It also rides much better and the feel in the steering wheel is more even when taking bumps. Before the adjust the right front took bumps much harder then the left.

In short I can't image a dealer taking the time to do this. The adjustments were very simple, but I spent the better part of a day making slight adjustments, driving the vehicle, rechecking my measurements and then adjusting it again. I'm off to get a wheel alignment Monday and put this behind me. Thanks for the advise.

Mine leans to the left pretty bad, I'm going to the dealer tomorrow.

Please see my post above. Mine leaned to the left and after a very professional alignment job, the lean was eliminated. I now have approximately 4,000 on it since the alignment and it is still level. Granted, I haven't bounced it off-road too much but it has seen moderate off-road action with no loss of level. In fact, I still think it rides and handles much better now. It doesn;t sway as much, especially in corners.... :beerchug:
