question about dakota

[stick]

I have a 99 Dakota, I just replaced all the shocks but when you stand behind or infront of the truck it looks like it leans to the passenger side. What would cause this?

 

[Begood]

Most likely spring sag on one side. I have had a few Dakotas and while no vehicle is perfectly level, I have never had one bad enough to notice with the naked eye.

my truck only has leaf springs. I never have seen a 4 wheel drive without front springs except for mine.

Dakota 4wd has a torsion bar front suspension. you can adjust the torsion bars to adjust ride height.

What he said. I had a 97 Dakota also. You can adjust the torsion bars. You may need a 7/8 socket and an impact gun. You can use muscle but you'll be there for a while.

thankyou, yall never let me down. So there is a torision bar on the front and rear?

no just the front. you'll want to make the adjustments on a alignment rack.
