It seems as though my Liberty has a tilt to it. When I get behind it and look at it, it seems as though it is tilted slightly down on the passenger side. Maybe only 1/2 inch but it seems to be sagging to one side. Does anyone else notice this on their Liberty and what would be the cause and fix? Thanks in advance all you Liberty tilted folk.

go park some place else and see if it changes
IFS seems to not like uneven parking spots
our KJ leans in the drive way but not in my shop
the TJ does not lean either place?

It leans everywhere I park it Jason. I don't know if it is a strut or something. I've seen other Libertys that lean also. Seems like half of them I see on the street are tilting and the other half I see are even. Is this normal? I guess I notice them more because mine is leaning. Anyone else notice theirs tilting to the left or right?

that is a common question on here. Some think it is the ghost of Dr. Z sitting in one of the seats, making it lean to one side. :shock:
Most peoples lean towards the drivers side though, there was some theory that it was the battery. Is there a heavy passenger usually sitting in the passengers seat? Each spring will settle differently though, making the KJ seem unlevel, it nothing to worry about, it just drives some of us a bit nuts. Also check tire pressures and wear.

Weird....Are all the tires the same inflation level?

Measure each corner's height in another location perhaps..

mine is slightly lower on the drivers side front :evil: ive been thinking about adding another clevis ring to that side to even it out. im not sure that is a really good idea though. i never though of the battery being the cause of it :idea: i only weigh 125lb so its no bacasue of me an normaly im the only one that rides in my Jeep. on occasion my 5 month old will ride in the back on that side but he only weighs ~20lb so thats not it either. would be ok to add another clevis ring to that side? i think that would be enough to make it sit level.

I noticed mine was tilting on the drivers side for a while now. I thought it was stress on my springs from my fat stupid being in it all the time. Plus I drive around with a ton of computer server and network parts for my job. So I am sure that added to the lean to one side.

That all was resolved by me doing one thing (no diet). I got Frankenlifted and we are square again.

When you get a chance, measure both sides of the front from the ground to the flare and see if your driverside is lower than the passenger side since you put the lift on. I'm guessing you will find it to be lower.

OK I got a chance to measure both sides of the fron from ground to bottom of fender flare. I am sitting at EXACTLY 36". I took this measurement at 4 differant parking lots.

Mine leans toward the drive side when looking from the rear (never really looked from the front). Not positive, but I suspect it to be from my tool box and portable jump starter that sit in the cargo area on the driver side.
