maybe take her to the alignment shop and have it aligned. dont tell them about the lean and then take it back a week later and blame them for it lol
The only problem with that is there is absolutely no way to fix the lean....I mean no way at all. Yes, you can set coilovers at different hieghts to get things level, but that isnt fixing it...only masking it.

Be sure to tell me when you find out what it is, because no one knows

I know what you mean. My drivers side seat leans to the right, and my left rear sags. Hope my back isnt out of whack!

well to update, the old man upright denied my spacer trick I reccomended perform,[:'(]

Ford knows about the issue and has a tsb in the body shop, the car is at Ford on the frame rack, doors removed, front and rear bumpers and lights.

$790 alignment and restructure, as soon as they are done, ill let you know EXACTLY THE CAUSES AND THE CURE for this madness.
But the frame tech says when we look at the rear of the car, we are fatally decieved at what we are actually looking at????? smurked me off and said give him 2 weeks[>:]

So you mean your dad said no to buying the spacer? So your car is at a Ford Dealership torn apart, man I am sorry for you since they will no doubt put it abck together hastily, and the price is gonna be through the roof.

Keep us updated, or better yet plz PM me when you find the answer.

well the frame guy called, and so far several points are off the datom line, we just ok him removing the front fenders and seats/carpet for 4.5 more hours, not the 7 it calls for. the rear suspension is off already.
we are at $989 so far

Two master frame techs working on it.
