weird body lean?
 

Hi all,

I've noticed over the last year my 93 YJ seems to be lilting slightly to the
right. In fact, there's about a 3/4 in less difference over the right rear
tire than the left. I thought I had read somewhere that this is normal for
a jeep of this age as the drive power comes from this wheel and over time
"pulls down" suspension....is that true? And what can I do about it,
preferably cheaply?

Thanks
Jimmy

Same thing I did. New springs.
Time to think about a lift kit.

A short term solution is spring lifters. But don't rely on
them for very long. There are two types, screw in (don't use them
they pop out) and the V type (better). Use them in pairs.

Re: weird body lean?
 

The simple fix is to swap the rears springs side to side. Unless something's
broken or bent it will most likely level it right out.

Yours seems a bit odd, most leaf spring Jeeps tend to lean to the driver's
side due to the drivers weight fatiguing the springs over time. The rears
tend to sag more than the fronts due to weight transfer while driving.

Hi DougW,
I believe you speak of coil spring spacers. His YJ would have leaf springs
front and rear.

Yeah, but even skinny little bastards like me get the left-side-sag...not
me, the Jeeps! (At my age, everything sags!)

nope, 180 soaking wet, but my buddy tells me the jeep seems to level off
once I get in it..

I'm going to have a shop look at the leafs in the back, I can't afford a
suspension lift right now, but I feel I should do something before it gets
worse...

Would it be politically incorrect to inquire as to the weight of
your main passenger? I've seen a few where they should be carrying
the Jeep and not vice versa.

Hi Jim,
You might crawl around under your YJ to make sure all the shackle
perches are good, some CJ-7s at least, have a rust out problem.

Nope, Real Jeeps use an open channeled, riveted frame like the
commercial trucks.

Bill you live in California... you know the OTHER state besides Arizona
that car collectors go to get their rust free classic project cars?
Jeep's are just rust traps, they have a hundred different things about
them that promote rust. Hinges, curled lips in the sheet (lower tub),
pressed and spot welded joints (windshield frame) coupled with the fact
that they get rained in more often than any other vehicle (in states
where it rains more than once a season). Open channel frame or not I've
seen plenty of old CJ's that were rust from grill to tail pipe.
