Hi,
Has anyone ever had a problem with their van leaning to one side?? Ive changed the shocks, springs and bushes and still it leans exactly as before. It is on the drivers side where all the weight from the furniture etc. is but I haven't seen anyone elses van lean like mine.
I have taken it to several garages but no one seems to know why...
If anyone has any ideas or knows of somewhere that could sort it for me I would be eternally grateful.
I forgot to mention it is lowered 60mm now on fully adjustable shocks... Dont know if that makes any difference??
Please help!!!
Im up in Preston so anyone local ish who fancies a look Id be happy to bring it round.
Thanks

Re: Leaning T25 Westy
This is common and Simon at Brickwerks developed a spacer kit for the Westy lean that fit under the springs on the driver side
Have a look on the Brickwerks site for more info.

Re: Leaning T25 Westy
i fitted the westy lean shims on my last westy.
great bit of kit which sorts the lean out

Re: Leaning T25 Westy
i fitted the Brickwerks kit too.
if you lower the van...apparently it makes the lean look a little worse.
mine was only slight.....but with the kit fitted its now spot on level.

All Westies lean slightly. Don't worry about it. Just enjoy the ride.
