M 38A1 body sags to the left

Post by DavidL »

When looked at from behind, my M38A1 sags slightly to the left. I renewed the leaf springs and shocks, thinking they were the problem, but it still sags. So do I have a bent frame, or is the tub somehow collapsing? A friend told me this might be caused by rusted out tub mountings, but I can't see where this would be. Your input is appreciated, thank you.

David, do a search on the forum about this problem. Wes gave me some answers on this exact problem on my M38A1 around the end of September.

Thanks GPA - found the message thread and read it all. As usual Ryan gives a long and very clear answer. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
