Front Right Suspernsion Problem

Post by paintballrocker »

Ive been noticing that my truck pulls to the right when i am driving. And today when i was putting air in my tires i noticed that the front right hand side sits alot lower then the left hand side, and all 4 tires had the same pressure in them. I was thinking maybe it was a bad shock or something.

I was wondering if any of you had the same problem or have an idea how to fix them.

Thanks

The torsion bars may not be adjusted evenly. Shocks will not affect ride height.
If you have not had an alignment in the last 20k miles, or ever. It is time.
The ride height can be adjusted and the parts examined for wear during the alignment inspection.

BTW. If you have stock shocks, they need to be replaced. The stock shocks are poor when they are new and get worse rapidly.
Read the shock threads and make your decision. If you plan to keep the truck more than a couple years, bite the bullet and buy the Bilsteins.

I traded a descent ZR2 for my CC. ZR2s come stock with Bilstien shocks. The OEM (stock) shocks are so lame new that I replaced them with under 1K on my CC. One of my first mods and it was one of the best ones. Just my Image.
