Hard front end lean

[Dhunter839]

2003 2wd 3.0 with 220k on it. My front suspension leans hard to the front left, I believe the tire even hits the fender on hard enough bumps. Are the factory coil spring known to break, I really need to get this fixed because it is wearing into wheel bearings pretty hard. Thanks!

Did you jack it up and have a look?

That's where I would start...

 

[Dhunter839]

yes, nothing easily visible seen broken. Measuring LF fender and RF fender ground to wheel opening I have like 29 3/4 on passenger side and 28 1/2 driver side. I can see where the tire has marks from rubbing the fender, also marks inside fender liner.

They could just be worn out... but it sounds like something is broken.

Did a coil bucket break from the frame?

Rear springs ok? Tires same size?

 

[Dhunter839]

Rear end is fine already replaced shackles and hangars a while ago. New upper control arms within last year and lower joints also.

Coils are known for weakening and loosing height over time. It is possible this is happening to you if buckets check out good.

I've lost over an inch in the front height due to the springs softening over the years.

Recommendations on replacement parts?

Have you checked body mounts? Suspension might be fine, but body drooping.
