Bit of a lean

Post by oddnumber »

Evenin' all! I've noticed that my hi top has a bit of a lean to the drivers side, nowt much - 1" or less. Is this a Westy Lean that I've read about? It's not really that noticeable. More of a curiosity thing really.

You tend to get a lean to the side with the units on, due to the extra weight.
You'll need something like this, to correct it.......

The 'Westy Lean' was pointed out to me on our new van the other day. I was worried I'd put on excessive weight... ;)

Good to find there's a fix tho :)
