Leaning 4Runner
I am not sure it has been covered before but I noticed my 05 4Runner leaning to the left. If I stand behind it at a distance, it definitely leans to the left. Has anyone else noticed this?

Is there a fat chick in the back seat?





Seriously though, this is normal. Like 'Sharp' said, it has been discussed, but I don't remember the details. Perform a search for more info

Yeah I too forgot the specifics. I think it was something along the lines of where components were mounted caused the truck to have a "gangsta' lean" to one side.

Your fuel tank is on the left side, gas is heavy.

How much is it leaning?

I have not measured it in terms of inches, but it's noticeable. I sid see the black plastic gas tank on the left, and thought it could be that.

Gasoline weights about 6.2 lbs/gallons therefore:
6.2#/gal * 23 gal = 142.6 pounds. Or approximately the weight of one person. So this would have no sagging effect on the truck.

Looked around, but could not find anything
I searched the board but did not find anything on a leaning/sagging 4runner and what it could be.... no one else seen this? Can you have a look at yours and let me know?

Thanks,

measurement
I have an 05 and you got me thinking... lol.. I just went out and measured it on a good level spot on my driveway. If you look at the rear bumper step there are 2 slots or groves. One on the left and right. I measured mine it was exactly 20 1/4" on both sides of the bumper step. In other words it's dead level or about as close as you can get. I just filled the tank too.... @ 2.39 gal. lol Anyway mine seems to be level with no lean that I can detect.
