Truck leaning (bad shock?)
I just looked out at my truck and noticed its leaning slightly to the drivers side. Ithe measured from the top of the tire to fender and drivers side is about 1/8-1/4 inch lower.... my truck is an 05 FX4 with ~40K miles on it (no lift or level, stock tire size)
You guys think the front shock/struts are bad and thats whats causing it to lean?
And ive noticed a slightly rougher ride (although it could just be me but ive been driving my dads 13 F150 xlt 4x4 and it rides hell of alot smoother)

Thanks, hard to tell whet is exactly straight because it needs a alignment and steering wheel isnt straight

Difference between 05 and 13 is light years. Do you have a full tank of fuel? That'll make it lean a little bit but your in spec as far as side to side difference.

My Mustang used to lean hard to the left. But I stopped loaning my car to my fat sister and it cleared up right away.

A few have found front coil springs broken near the bottom of the coil (with front corner down a little)... probably from loaning their truck to a fat sister.
