Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / July 2006Does anyone elses Explorer lean to the left
I've noticed it since I bought it 8 months back, its a 2000 and is noticeable from the rear and when parked car lean as much as 3 inches or so on the left. is this the norm?, or is it something to be concerned about? if so can it be fixed easy enough? Thanks chaps John Yeh, I've got a "95 XLT and it does the same thing. Took it in to Ford when it was still under the warranty and they told me it's within normal limits. I think they must be crazy, but at any rate, it still tilts, and has had no problems because of it. > I've noticed it since I bought it 8 months back, its a 2000 and is > noticeable from the rear and when parked car lean as much as 3 inches or [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > John i have an '01 sport & it sits pretty level. a 3" lean is quite a bit. i've never seen one do that. it dont look normal though does it? ;) :) > Yeh, I've got a "95 XLT and it does the same thing.

The spare although full size is smaller than the 17" on my '97 EB. If the spare is mounted it could cause the lean. checked the tyres all round, they are all 255's 16" >>I've noticed it since I bought it 8 months back, its a 2000 and is >>noticeable from the rear and when parked car lean as much as 3 inches or [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > size is smaller than the 17" on my '97 EB.

Just get an alignment checked/done after though. > guestimate really - just stood approx 3 metres back and looked :) > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>> >>> John Our 2000 Sport had a 3/4 inch drop.

Mine leans to the driver's side -- I don't know if that's the side yours leans to, as you have a UK mailing address. It didn't do this quite so much when I bought it, but it hasn't affected the alignment. |
