s-10 leaning
my 98 s-10 2.2 manual seems to be leaning i bit on the drivers side. from the back it looks as if it has something heavy on that side and not the other. i was wondering if this was normal or what. could it be cause the gas tank is full since its on that side. if u kno why its doing that and possibly how to fix it, that would be wonderful.

Re: s-10 leaning
no. its the drivers side. all you have to do is call someone like belltech or eibach and ask for the spring spacer for an s 10 they ll know what your talking about

Re: s-10 leaning
did you lower the truck??? i m guessing you did. most times thats the only way you see it. it not very much. maybe 20-30 bucks.i dont remember. it seems the lower you go the more you see it so check that out. if you didnt drop it im not sure whats going on.

Re: s-10 leaning
The gas tank will NOT cause the truck to have a noticable "lean". You may want to check all the body, bed mounts, suspension (shocks, front coil springs, leaf srpings and all connects for the suspension.)
If you cannot find anything wrong, take it to a autoshop to have a professional look at it. If you haven't lowered it and it has a "noticable" lean, then something is broken.

Re: s-10 leaning
I wrote a long answer then lost it when I got disconnected .
Short version; replaced 4 shocks and springs. Now ordered Air Ride helper air springs from trucksprings.com. $190. Should have put in air springs first.P/N ARL59529
