Post suspension Question

As i was walking to my H3 the other day it looked like it was leaning to one side. I just thought it was the parking lot, when I went home and parked it in the drive way i took some measurements and yep it sits crooked....i measured 39 inches on the rear driver side (from ground to fender lip) and 40 inches on the passenger side. Also measured from the top of the axle to the bump stop and still an inch different....?

Does the gas tank affect the suspension that much I would think that the suspension wouldn?t sag that much....but hey no engineer.. If anyone has some input please let me know. thanks

no. tbars. crank em. mine was the same way. when i decided to level it i cranked the bars and had to crank more on the driver side. i think they all have a little sag right off the lot. you might want to check but i think a handful of people will tell you the same.

sometimes a bottle of wine to your regular service writer helps but should be warrenty...

Glad you got it fixed. My dealer is the same way, they will not mess with the suspension outside of spec. Of course there are dealers that will gladly take your business and adjust your torsion bars for you. I just did it myself and got a front end alignment.

The Bilstein shocks and extended bumpstops from Trail Duty are a must if you do crank your t-bars.
