blazer leans to one side
Hi,
I recently had someone point out to me that my 95 blazer leans to one side. After looking it is very obvious. The gap between my tire and fender is 2 inches less on my front drivers side and about 1.5 inches on the rear drivers side. What is causing this? Is it possible that my springs are more shot on that side from me being the only occupant in the vehicle most the time. Don't laugh, its all I could think of. Do I need to replace springs or is there something that I can adjust? Can anyone measure there blazer for me and see if this is typical? I never noticed until it was pointed out.
Thanks

I also have a 95 blazer, just curious as to what amount of fuel you have in your tank, as the tank is under the drivers seat and rear seat behind driver. I only have 1/4 tank in right now but it does look as though it leans to one side (drivers) a little.
Are you're 100% sure you are parked on a flat surface?
Seems strange that the springs on one side only would go, as they have different charaturistics, if anything they would go in axle pairs?
just my 2 Cents worth.
I will measure my distances once I can get through the snow!

The left side is about 1/4" lower with a 1/4 tank of gas and 112k miles. It's not exactly parked on a flat spot and I'm sure that is casuing the lean on my vehicle. You should probably check all connections and linkages to make sure nothing has come loose or broke. As far as I know there is no way to change the suspension or spring settings on OE equipment.
you dont have springs on the front of a 4x4 s-series blazer... you have torsion bar suspension... 2wd has coil springs...
the torsion bar bolts.... its not advised to crank them far, but you can go up to 3 inches higher or lower...... just two bolts...... under the truck, not safe to crank them far but it is mildly adjustable with no danger...
