Hey folks,

Sorry for the dumb question. I just bought a 1998 Blazer LT RWD yesterday for my daughter who's soon to be driving. Got a great deal on it, but it's got a few little things I'm fixing before she starts driving.

One of the issues is that the front end leans a little to the left. I've check that nothing is broken. I've heard that often this can be corrected by adjusting the torsion bar. However, all my digging online for torsion adjustments only turns up info on 4wd. Apparently, the RWD doesn't have the same torsion bar.

So, my dumb question...where is the torsion bar/adjustment on a RWD? Does anyone have a pick? I've had the wheel off and looked at everything, but I don't want to start cranking on something without being sure what I'm turning.

Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll be stopping back by here as I fix thing thing up for her.

 

The rwd uses coil springs instead of torsion bars so that's why you can't find them what you have is likely what's commonly called "Chevy lean" and sadly there are many things that can cause it and I've seen countless threads on various forums of people going mad trying to remedy it lol! What I've seen most commonly is springs or body mounts causing the lean. Others may have more input but those are the most common things I've seen over the years.

 

So I'm NOT crazy lol. Thanks for the help.

My next attempt at a solution was to replace the shock, but I'm guessing that's probably not the problem now, huh? Not sure if I want to tackle trying to replace springs.
