Chevy Lean and odd noise...

Post by green02crew »

Ok two questions:

1. Does anyone's truck lean to the passenger or drivers side? Mine leans to the passengers side about 1/2 an inch. The front and rear are even heights just evenly leaning... I cranked the Tbars and did shackles could this have caused the problem? I'd like to think its compensation for a full gas tank and always having a driver...

2. When I back up and crank the wheel all the way to the right it sounds like my tires are rubbing only more of a clicking noise. It did it with my stock sized tires and still does it with my 30x9.5s so I don't know if it is the tires or not. It's done it since I got the truck and hasn't gotten any worse I just can't figure out what it is! Any ideas?

Yeah so it looks like the lean is just going to be there. when I get it in goes away so thats a good sign! Both my Tbars are cranked all the way but the front and rear passenger side is even just a little lower.... oh well! As for the noise I'll just write it off as tires hitting plastic somewhere since thats what it sounds like. Only happens in reverse so I'll try to ignore it. Can't really find anything on here about it but if something goes I'll know it was related...

When the boot falls down because of the TB crank like the drivers side I'll prob check it. If it is failing I can't stop it unless I replace it. I'm sure I'll check it soon enough. Thanks for the possible idea though I'll def keep my eye on it!
