    Hello Folks
    1955 CJ 5 restored
    Was wondering if folks have seen this before.
    Drive side front seams to lean. I have new springs on all 4 corners but still have a noticeable lean any ideas
    Thanks

    Pretty common on Jeep's, First check body mounting cushions, they could be comppressed or completely gone. In my case they were all there and about the same thickness, The jeep had recently had the springs replaced so I placed 3/16 by2" wide plates about 8" long between the axel tube and spring perch to level it back out. Also check the spring bushings.
