If folks have been following my build thread, you would know that one of the first things I did on my Land Cruiser after importing was to put in a lift kit. OME leafs and shocks.
I spent a couple of days installing and dialing this in. It was even and perfectly symmetrical and drove like a dream.
In the last couple of weeks, I noticed that the right rear side looked a little lower, so I pulled out the tape measure and checked top of tire to fender on both sides and sure enough, about 3/4" difference.
The only difference lately is the cruiser has been sitting a while in the garage because I have been driving and working on other vehicles.
This suspension is only 4.5 years old. Bushings appear fine and I keep the shackles greased. The ride is still smooth, and it 'might' be my imagination, but I feel like it is slightly softer/more right rear sag when cornering to the left. I will occaisionally hear a 'clunk' from the rear at lower speeds and manuvering about.
I have loaded it up once a year for a couple of weeks trip I do, but nothing crazy. No hitting holes at speed, or anything like that in my memory.
What has been the consensus on fixes? My thoughts were to just take it to a spring shop and have them re-arch the sagging spring to bring it back to level whenever I can get to it in the never ending jobs list... Communities thoughts? Thanks for reading...
