car leaning to the left

5mustang0 · July 10th, 2007, 02:00 PM

I haven't had this car for to long and when the car is sitting on level ground it looks liek it is leaning to the left side i no the left front tire is low but even if u pump that tire up it still seems liek it is leaning to the left so i was wondering what u guys think might cause this?? Oh and it is a 1990 2.3 with a t-5 if that help at all

suspension woes.

5mustang0 · July 10th, 2007, 02:05 PM

i thougth it might be somethign with the suspension but would it just be shocks or what??

HMUSN · July 10th, 2007, 02:08 PM

is everything stock?

i mean the car is 17 years old.. suspension is probably pretty bad

i had the same problem with mine, turned out to be a bent axle, just swapped it to a 8.8

pops said the same thing

if the shocks were shot, u wud hav noticed it a long time ago

the ride quality wuda been horrible for a while

oh yea no doubt, my father figured this one out, i drove it up the street and he saw the wheel wobbling so we put the rear on jacks and stepped on the gas and saw it wobbling

HMUSN · July 10th, 2007, 02:16 PM

you guys make a good point.. could def be an axle as well.

my car goes a lot faster with the rear jacked up

lol

i did that once in my v6.

jacked up the rear put it in fifth and floored it... it shot over 100mph real quick..lol

MSO · July 10th, 2007, 02:19 PM
