What things have you guys done to fix the famous "foxbody lean"?

Most lean to the drivers side, but mine its odd and leans to the passger side. :confused3 After spending a few hours clocking springs only for the same end result:mad:


I'm thinking its the spring on that side, because way back when this car was a daily beater as a v6 I do remember if you had somebody in the backseat it would rub on that side. I don't want to go throwing money at it only to find out its something like the frame. My tq boxes are in good shape and my control arm bushings are in great shape.

Where else should I also look?

Cut 1/4 coil from the springs on the opposite side.

Wouldn't that be the /redneck/ghetto way of doing it? :)

Yes but the other option is to buy a new set of springs







































and then cut 1/4 coil off the high side of the car:D:D

High side? So no matter what springs these cars all have the same problem?

I figure something like FMS B or C springs.

Not running any. The last time i did rear end work they fell apart never replaced and got no road noise.

coil overs in the rear worked well for me.
