Van Lean

[GallenH]

I noticed when cleaning up after our last trip that my 97 PW has a slight lean toward the driver's side. With rear airbags fully deflated it appears to be slightly under an inch lower in the rear; about 1/2 inch in the front. So the lean is slightly greater in the rear. Those measurements are the same with 45 pressure in bags. I measured both at the high point of the wheel wells and at the rear bumper. Tire inflation correct and equal in the back and the front. G,B and Fresh Water tanks all empty.

Unusual? Something to worry about? Possible cause?

Thanks.glenn

I doesn't sound like it's affected your ride or handling, but that is still a lot of difference. You'd probably want to get it checked out by a suspension shop unless you find a load unbalance issue. Have you weighed on a scale that does individual wheel weights or at least left/right readings (if there is such a thing)?

Spectrac Parts and services 405 E Baseline Rd, Gilbert, AZ can fix it.

Maybe a broken leaf?

Or a cracked line or airbag on one side.

You're not a rock collector, per chance?

Extra points if you've seen the movie : )

Well I do know that the airbag on that side is going down in PSI faster than the other side. In the time it takes the good side to go from 45 to 39, the lower side goes from 45 down to 15. So I know that there's a leak there. But in my original test I deflated both sides as thoroughly as possible to not have my measurements dependent on the airbags.

So still a mystery. When I feel ok with AZ covid-19 I'm going to take it to the shop that hbn7hj recommended. It's relatively close to my home.

Question is: Is it safe to drive in the meantime?
