The westy lean is because of the internal misbalance between left and right on the vehicle. The typical westy has almost 300 more pounds on the drivers side without the driver. So for 24 hours of the day it has that offside weight straining the vehicle and settling it. Just like a house. Can be slightly offset by putting in a 120 lb toolbox on the passenger side and carrying a 200 lb passenger on most trips. jimt On 10/10/05 6:35 AM, "Larry Chase" <roadguy@ROADHAUS.COM> wrote: > Except maybe during acceleration, braking or cornering?
