GMC Sierra Leaning to one side?

[iceman30906]

My 2007 GMC Sierra is leaning to the front drivers side. The spring and shock have been replaced, but it's still leaning. Any body else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Tires and rims the same size? Did they put in a different spring? Were spring and strut new or used? Is right rear spring higher on back? Bent frame? could be any of above.

sounds like the frame was bent .1.carfax report.2if the truck was in an accident take it to the original repair shop and raise **$$

 

[coocat]

it would be your tire size check that tire size compared to the other ones or your alignment is off quite a bit

problem could lie in the tortion bars as well..... they will independently raise or lower the front end...

My 2006 leans on driver side too. It is my understanding that many Chevy and GMC have what is refered to as the Chevy lean. I took mine to the dealer and they have a special spacer and longer bolts to put on the rear leaf spring. It helped the rear lean a little,but left front still leans.

The Sierra Lean, had in on my 05' Sierra SLE, and I fixed it.

I had the same problem you guys have. It turns out the Sierra models for certain years have something wrong with the springs or spring assembly; I'm no expert, but I took mine to a local spring place, this is what buddy told me. To fix this problem, I bought new springs from a local coil spring company, who knew about the problem.

I looked up the info online here, to quote you. If you punch in the part number, SC20222 on almost any internet search engine, it'll link you to the answer you're looking for.

SPRING Part # SC20222 {Sold in Pairs}
Front; w/ AC; w/ A/T; Pickup; 2WD; Use to Minimize Lean If OEM Driver's Side Body sits 1/2" to 1" Lower Than Passenger Side

Order these and get them on the truck and your lean is GONE.

Cheers,
