Leaning Van

Post by chadde4666 »

Hi all
I have lowered my van (1989 1.9 DG Minibus) and have a 15mm lean to the drivers side at the back. I have changed the springs over and it still leans to the same side by 15mm. I have tried the original springs and it leans to the same side by 5mm. All changes where done on the same flat floor. Can anybody explain, or give me any ideas as to what to check. The springs are AVO 50mm.

Thanks for your input, but it's not got everything on one side, it's a minibus and why would it lean less on standard springs and more on lowering spring. I thought they were stiffer?
