I noticed the other day that my ZJ is leaning to the passenger side. It is very noticable whenn looking at it. You don't need to measure to see that it is not good.

The only thing I can think of is that I have a bent sway bar from a diso coming loose and taking a right turn too fast. Could you bend one of these if I drove it preety hard with only one side connected?

I am going to diso both sides to see if it levels out. What else could it be?

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked to make sure the coils and seats are ok? Is factory spacer missing? Those are the only other things I can think of off hand.

Looked like they were seated fine. I can't see anything different besides the fact that the left front is really low. That is why I thought it was the Sway Bar.

Thinking about it logicly it should be lower on the side that is connected. I guess I would try to undo the otherside and see if it levels out. Just make sure you are on level ground or it might not work. I have also driven with a broken link once and my sway bar did not bend. It would seam to me that the sway bar would stay up out of the way being connected on the other side.

Well I discoed both sides and was even.

So what I had to do was lengthen the Driver side about 2" longer then the passenger. Now I am at just under 4" in the front at 21.9" and 22.75 on the rear. I am pretty happy how it drives now. I tightened everything down again and it simply drives awesome. Had a track bar, Sway, upper and lower control arms loose.
