 Subject: Leaning Dak
IP: Logged
Message:
I noticed the other day that the rear my 89 Shelby Dak is leaning to the left. The front appears level, I even checked it with a level. The rear is definitely leaning left. It does not line up with the cab when viewed through the windshield. Shocks have only 2000 on them. Could it be shocks or springs? Truck was not in any kind of accident. everything looks ok underneath.

Likely not the shocks.
Could be weak spring(s) or defective/old/broken bed-to-chassis mount

I am guessing springs because I went under the truck and all bed/chassis mounts look ok. Who makes leaf springs for my old Dak?

How heavy are you?
My sister had a similar problem with their 3500. Turned out the factory installed the wrong spring, although it is a tad late for you to get a replacement if that is your problem.
You might investigate switching springs, but what was said previous makes more sense.
