Subject:Westy Lean Solution?
From:Jay L Snyder
Date:Mon, 22 Jul 2002 09:39:34 -0400

I believe the lean is caused by failed bushings in the trailing arms of the
rear suspension.  Yesterday I was adjusting the camber of the driver's side
rear wheel.  I was able to raise the driver's side by a 1/4", but I was
maxxed out on the camber adjustment slot.  The tire is still in at the top
a little (positive? camber).  If these bushings were replaced, I feel
confident the riding height could be restored.  (Since some members have
replaced the springs and even swapped them side to side without much luck,
the problem has to be in the bushings.)  Anyone replaced these bushings?
How hard is it and did it help with the Westy lean?
