Leaning 4Runner

[Mengtze]

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?

Yes, do a search and its been discussed before. I don't believe its anything to worry about.

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

fat chick in the BACK seat?

wouldn't she have to be sitting to one side?

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.

'The fat chick walks, she needs to loose some weight'

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.
