Tilting 29 Roadster

[jboggess]

Hi all, so recently in another post I been telling about how I been getting my roadster restored and going. Well the other day I put my front bumper on and noticed that the bumper is tilting to left. After taking some measurements its a good 1 1/2" Inch difference. Apparently its the left bumper and left fender that's out. The bumper brace is straight,,, Has anyone ever herd of this problem?? Thanks in advance.

A left lean is very common.... do as search
Type in LEANS LEFT

Lots of info and different things to check...

Can be a seized shock
Weak frt spring
Weak Rear spring
Rear spring tightened incorrectly and on and on

It could also be a bent front fender bracket.

Measure the frame to ground and get that level first, then check the bumpers.

As Mitch mentioned, it's quite often the 4 nuts on the rear spring just need to be adjusted.
