Passenger Side Lean

[ThatJeepGuy]

Loosen the control arm bolts one at a time with weight on the ground. Maybe you got a bound up joint.

Definitely worth a shot same with the track bars
I tighten everything on my suspension at ride height.

Got some pointers from someone on FB. They had me remove an upper control arm on the front and on the rear.

As soon as I removed a rear upper control arm it was no longer in a bind. Now it leans to the drivers side!

Damn it. So busy joking around about the notorious Jk lean we forgot to check off the basics. Yes always torque control arms and track bars at ride height. Sorry man could have saved you some adjustment time. Glad you got it figured out.

It wasn't the control arm torque.... It was the length!

I had set my rear pinion angle then matched the length left to right on the upper arms.

Guess it didn't like having them matched!

Sounds like when the long arm brackets got welded they weren't even. How much difference in control arm length are you talking about?

Not much at all. Less than 1/4".

The mounts look right on.

I was shocked that it caused such a bind!

 

[QuicksilverJK]

That is crazy. Good info for the next person that had a problem with it though.

Even without coil overs the lean happens. I load my tools and recovery gear heaviest items accordingly to help compensate. Whatever you do don’t blame your wife for it. Not a good idea at all even jokingly.

Hehe...my Anvil has the exact same starboard side list...and it was pretty dead even when I first got it...it does help with right hand cornering though...
