My Jeep is leaning to the passenger side about an inch. I'm not sure whats causing it or how to fix it. To be honest, I'm not sure how long it's been that way or if it's always been like that. It could have happened when I had it aligned or when I flopped it... ![:shrug:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/fbM4lbqniWZWa__3RtlD.gif) It also tends to lean more on that side making it feel unstable. The unstable feeling is what really bugs me. But it drives smooth and straight. My first thought was to check the Currie Anti-rock to make sure they were in the same hole and then I checked the links to make sure they were the same length. Think the springs are sagging on that side? I guess I could swap the front springs and see if that effects it...

Check and make sure your front coil hasn't slipped out of the spring perch. That happened on mine recently.

Bobs LJ does it too. It's because the springs are messed up.

I have heard the older Rough Country springs would sag over time and it was always the right rear due to the weight of the vehicle being pushed to that corner on take off, That being said, I have RC springs and haven't noticed any sag on mine but I haven't measured it in a few years either

I have two new RC springs for Bobs LJ sitting in the garage to replace to two rears that are bad.

Not sure if its enough to matter. That'll be added to the ta do list. Maybe that'll fix it. I actually need to re-align the top coil buckets to match to bottom.

My rear springs get messed up after an off road trip. I need to flex it out and spin the springs back where they should be.

I twisted the rear driver back in line, it wasn't as bad as I thought. The bump stops won't let them get too far out off the bucket. I "think" it may have helped on the stability issue. I'll know when I drive it more. It still sits about an 3/4" lower up front on the passenger side. When I get time, I'm going to swap the front two springs around and see what that does.

Not sure with different brands, but my OME springs were stamped as driver and passenger. But the fronts are bad about twisting off the perches.
