I was hoping this would settle itself with the new springs...

My van seems t sit heavier on the drivers side. It doesnt surprise me, the cupboards, starter battery, leisure battery, water tanks are all down that side. Is there anything that can I can do to start balancing this out.

Ah right, cool. Does this affect handling and braking though? The cupboards fitted and the leisure battery was done by the previous owner, so not standard?

Hangs head in shame. Yes you're quite right. How ridiculous. It just shows you how much cupboards can affect suspension though. Please don't say its MDF though - that stuff is almost as heavy as bricks. Well, if the spacers don't work, maybe its time to go lightweight?

I will be going lightweight and for some different interior units. These are pretty new though, so hard to justify replacing. I want some that do not cover the Drivers side window.
This makes me think I need to sort the inside out... Image

heck! No wonder it leans heavily to one side. Thats a domestic scullery transplanted in there. :D Is that a marble worktop?

And by the way, what sexist edited the swear filter on here to make it impossible to say the word k.i.t.c.h.e.n?? :roll: C'mon, this is 2014

Yea! thats not my interior by the way, but certainly makes me think I need to improve mine a little.

I have similar probs at work. With 200 staff to look after on the network, they moan if they get spam in their email boxes but then moan if an email they wanted gets filtered out. Its hard to get a happy medium really.
