RE: my car has a ghetto lean
I have the same "lean to the drivers side" and it has nothing to do with the gas tank whether it is full or empty. I will be lowereing the back and getting adj shocks and see ifI can fix it a little. I don't think it is a 1/2 inch difference on each side but it is noticable to me. JMO J

RE: my car has a ghetto lean
I hate to see how my car leans when I sit my fat *** in the seat, I'm quite a big boy. I always wondered why my gas tank always reads full. When I close the door it feels like I' m in a racing seat sandwiched between the door and the console. But that' s OK because the RIDE is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![sm=happybounce.gif]

RE: my car has a ghetto lean
It might do you well to stop acting like you know something..... The fuel tank has to equalize it's level, because the fuel pump is on the passanger side. If it didn't, you would starve the pump of fuel, now that just does not happen does it?If it did,we would run out of fuel all the time, now wouldn't we? Good try with your post, but it lacks common sense like most of your posts, I've never had a problem with ride height. It's not realpolitically correctto make comments about "bum Mustang owners either"

Actually, normally I laugh with you guys at myself...
But in this case you're completely wrong. The sway is well known as being associated with the amount of fuel inside.
I know you bum mustang owners may not be able to afford a full tank, but if so, try running to near empty and measuring where the rear sits as opposed to the wheels, then fill up and measure again.

RE: my car has a ghetto lean
well.. i am a big guy... 230 lbs... but im 6'4".. so i look good
... i dont know if it is a mustang thing, from the looks of other posters... it may be, however i was thinking maybe it was the springs losing there strength because of my weight always on one side?? i dunno... if that is the case, would ford replace them?

RE: my car has a ghetto lean
kinda relieved... bought my stang used, worried about someone wrecking it and fixing it under the radar... nothing on carfax, but if this many people are experiencing the same lefty lean... phew! i wonder if lowering it or replacing the springs would alleviate this problem*... any one lowered in here with input?
