Hi folks, I have just had a set of procomp shocks and +2 inch springs fitted to my 200 tdi disco, she seems to be slightly leaning to the drivers side, and when driven more obvious,any reason for this ? :?

Are the shock/spring dimensions different front to back?



Did you have different size wheels/tyres front to back?
Do you have <edit> sat behind you?

Check the rear anti roll bar, it may be reversed (up) on one side?

Exactly how much is it leaning by, if its no more than half an inch then it could just be build tolerances of the chassis etc.

Some spring sets come handed and have different length spings on the same axle, if put on the wrong way round then rather than making the vehicle sit level them make it even more unlevel.


Not likely but are your tyres all correctly inflated, its best to check them first.

not sure if disco's are like this but i know kits for patrols have different springs for front/back and left/right. to allow for the extra weight on the right handside of car,eg; driver, spare wheel and other bits. may be worth checking if fitted wrong way round?
