Subject:Westy Body Lean
From:Denys Mueller

Hi all,

I'd like your opinion on my conclusion regarding what I feel is
excessive body lean/sway on my '86 Westy.

After some checking of my springs and shocks (KYB)- all good, I've
concluded that Michelin XCH4 Tires maybe the problem. They are
LT-195/75-R14 tires, load rated C, 4 ply tread (steel & ployester), 2
ply polyester sidewall, all season/M&S with a max press of 50 at 1435
lbs single and inflated to 39F/48R.

What do you think? Have I made the wrong conclusion?

Any response appreciated,

Thanks,
Denys
