Re: 94 26rb passenger side leaning Reply #1 – November 09, 2013, 04:51:54 pm Yahoo Message Number: 143523I would want LOTS more info but my first thought is either a broken spring or damaged mount somewhere in the system on the right. Most likely, with that much lean, there is a broken leaf or 2 on the right rear spring.Ken F in NM

Third-party suspension add-ons are significantly more failure program than suspension parts designed into the chassis by Ford.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels

Re: 94 26rb passenger side leaning Reply #4 – November 09, 2013, 05:21:14 pm Yahoo Message Number: 143532Thanks all. Put on road. Whats funny is when i picked up fr storage i heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. Lots of shooting so i knpw the sound. It sounded distant so i didnt think iy was me . Now not sure. Drove 100 mo last night good performance. Visually under chassis springs look good both sides. Bilsteins of unknown age. Pass side rde right had different spacers than other.Measured diff is 2 inch not 3.Never noticed before but may have been that way.Thanks !Kenneth Fears wrote:

LD is leaning about 3 inches down on pass side''MattHave all four corners weighted. The 1994 26.5' is built on the lightweight E350 chassis, with its minimal 11,000-lbs GVW, and is almost fully loaded when bare. A few hundred pounds imbalance toone side will cause it lean. A twenty year old motorhome could easily have worn out or broken springs so if it isn't an imbalance, you may need the springs replaced or rebuilt.Larry

A broken spring or other suspension part is potentially very unsafe, and I would not drive it farther than the nearest shop.Eric GreenwellMatt W. wrote, On 11/9/2013 1:27 PM:
