2002 Rodeo Sport leans to right

[jarrettdrake]

2002 Rodeo Sport leans slightly to the right. Checked tire pressure and anything obvious around the axle. Double checked with a tape measure, and it's only 1/2", but it's noticeable. Could it be the shocks? Are they gas charged? They look good. Any ideas appreciated.

This may sound silly, but I had this same issue, but thought nothing of it.

My rig has 4 tires, all the same brand, however, just the other day I took one in for a patch as it had a small leak. My tires are 31x10.5's.

On the back, someone decided (prior to my purchase) to put one 31, and one 30" tire on.

This is EXACTLY a half inch height difference. It's also very bad on the rear end.

Other than that, it may be springs (coils or leafs) that have lost their tension or shocks.

HTH,

Steve

My 2000 Amigo (aka Rodeo Sport) does the same thing.

Leans to the right while looking at the back.

Maybe it is like that to compensate for the weight of the driver?

My 02' leans as well, although I'm sure it's not supposed to. It was kind of bothersome for a while, but now I tilt my head just enough to make it look straight.
Weight compensation is not the reason for this, and if Isuzu says it is that's pretty lame. Sounds more along the lines of manufacturer's defect to me.

You can always crank the torsion bar adjusting nut on the low side to even it up. A small adjustment like 0.5" wouldnt warrant a caster/camber alignment.

That's my plan when I get new tires in the next 6 months. New tires, Crank, but then I'm going to take it in for an alignment, since it will have been about 50k since it was last done.
