Does your 4Runner lean on the Driver Side

[TOYSTRY]

EDIT: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD THAT WAS RESURRECTED, PLEASE DO NOT BEAT THE OP

Maybe it's just me or my driveway, but it seems like the 4Runner leans "heavily" on the drivers side?

Anyone else?

No lean on my 2010 SR5, except when my monster in-law is in the passenger seat.

You know I searched using the keyword "leaning" and didn't notice this during my initial search.
:thanks:

Yes, especially with a fulltankofexpensiveashellgas....:sobbing:

I've never noticed a lean on my 2010 SR5.

I had not noticed any lean, but out of curiosity I went out to my garage to measure the height. I'm sitting 1/2 inch lower on the driver's side. The tank is about 80% full.

Aside from designing the gas tank to straddle the driveline, I don;t see how some lean can be avoided. If you try an counter the lean of a full gas tank, it will lean the other way when the tank is more than half-empty.

FTR: 24 Gal x 6.073 Lbs = 145.752 Lbs. That's a like carrying another passenger.

Checked mine (2011 SR5 4x4), no lean . . . .

1/2 inch lean here. 1/2 tank of gas.

With rear FJ springs, plus rear DS 1.5, the right rear is approximately 1/4" higher than the rear driver side. Most likely from gas tank, which was about 1/2 full.

I measured all 4 corners prior to doing my front spacer install, and noticed I was a 1/2 inch lower on the driver's side. I also had a full tank of gas.

Measured again (post-lift) when I had a little less than a 1/4 tank, and it was pretty even all the way around.

My front was lower/heavier on the drivers side, but with about a quarter inch of adjustment on the toytec coilover, it sits even now.

Too bad the tank isn't on the passenger side. I don't want people thinking I am
the reason for the lean. (aka my fat ass is causing it) :hungry:

 

[Will733]

I wonder if the dealer could install a 1/2" rear driver side spacer free of charge to fix the visable lean... (I know I'm probably dreaming)

Mine has the ghetto lean also. It a TE and has a lean. Took it to the dealership and said it was not leaning enough to worry about it.

Oh crap , it's midnight and now I have to go out and measure or I wont be able to sleep..................... F**k !!!


Ok just came back in , tire pressures are all equal and tank is at 85% full and I lean a 1/2" lower on the right (PASSANGER SIDE ) go figure ........

I've known about the lean for quite some time. I guess it's pretty common. Even FJ owners complain:

FJ leans to the drivers side - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

Since the driver/battery/gas tank is all on the left side of the vehicle and I have adjustable coilovers, I solved the lean issue by raising the front driver side coil enough to make everything level.

My 4th gen had a lean also.
