Help..!!! I'm Tilted To One Side And I Can't Straighten Up..
I noticed for the last few days of onwnership, (6th day now) that My H3 kind of looked tilted to one side. Today I took some measurements at the wheel well center's around the rig.
I found that the passenger side is 1-1/4" higher then the driver side. This is about the same for front to back. You can see it clearly from the rear as you stand in back and look at the rig. It's tilted ..!!
I remember a post about this, but couldn't find it doing a search. So now I guess I have to add this to the list of things to repiar at the dealer.
Any one remember this post and the Fix??
Was ther any kind of a service bulliten on this? Or is this just a Torsion Bar adjustment front and or a what ever fix in the rear. Kind of bugs me that it is this much off.
Half inch or so is no big deal but you can see easily that there's something is not right.
After some more searching..(Used f5's name to search posts) ..figured he'd be involved in this one...I found the thread....
http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=17203
Seems like a few think it's no big deal... well mine is very noticable..
You know what..It kind of ticks me off a little.. But I'm still glad I got a HUMMER from GM...My Girl friend wouldn't give me one..

I remember that thread but I don't remember any resolution. Also I don't remember anyone saying it was 1-1/4 difference. Mine sits with a little lean but not that much or that noticeable.

Re: Help..!!! I'm Tilted To One Side And I Can't Straighten Up..
There has been some dialog under torsion bar settings on this topic. It could relate to alignment as well and these two effect each other. But over 1" is dramatic lean. Take back to the dealer for resolution there is a problem...

After you take your fat arse from behind the wheel ,give it a week and it'll straighten out. Grab a ratchet and 7/8 socket and crank driver side torsion bar adjustment bolt up about 2 turns. The Rebel
