Xterra leaning to one side - 25/04/06 01:05 PM
I noticed recently that my Xterra has developed a lean toward the driver's side. It can be seen from both the front end and back end. I did some measurements and found out that I've lost around 1" on that side of the vehicle.
The dealership alignment guy, who I've used before and does great work, told me that the torsion bars are slipping and that they would have to get under there and inspect everything to figure out why. I did have a very large alignment job done (bolts unfrozen, etc) around the first part of February but he said this is in no way related.
Is this a common problem on the Xterra, a normal problem, or a sign of something bad? It may have been getting worse for awhile but it is in the past week that I have really noticed it starting to lean. It is bad enough you can tell it from inside the vehicle as well.
Thanks for any advice anyone can give.
