yup, sure > enough, the girl is down about an inch on the drivers' side. I would assume > this means replacing the shocks, or is there some other component that levels > the chassis? I have no idea...any suggestions apprreciated! Sagging is due to two things: the fact that the driver's side of a westy gets more weight AND the fact that springs sag with age. While you may need new shocks too... it is the springs that sag; not the shocks. Solution: new springs to correct front to back sag, plastic spacer installed at driver's side spring seats to correct for left to right sag (see archives for this fix). Shocks will correct the excessive rocking of the after hitting a bump, but not the sag. Good Luck, Bill > > Scott K. > 88 Westy -"Roxy Blueboxy" >
