What has caused my 97 V8 explorer to lean to one side? I've
replaced the anti-sway bolts because one had broken off, and
I've also replace all shocks after 117k mikes. All linkages appear
to be intact. Its noticable when parked on level ground and all
tires have the required psi.

Thanks

:dunno: I may have a similar problem. The front looks fine, but the left rear is noticably lower than the right (almost an inch measured from the ground to the top of the wheel opening).

One of the things on my to-do list is to add a leaf to each side in the rear. At that time I expect to find a problem with one that's already there and replace IT as well. (My 31X10.50R15 All-Terrains fit, but just barely!)

If your problem is in the front, the torsion bars ARE adjustable. Just turn it a little, then bounce the truck a few times and see where it ends up. It's mostly a trial-and-error type change.

Hope this helps....
