Landy leans to drivers side

I have a series 2 1962 garage just fitted leaf springs (new) and sh0cks all round bugger leaning to drivers side took back off swopped around and still leaning to drivers side. Any ideas anyone how to correct.

send the springs back, theres some right crap out there

Springs came from Paddocks and are british made not chinese garbage cost me a lot of money.

Double check the numbers to make sure you got the right ones in the right place. Not accusing you of being silly or anything.

what brand are they? britpart?

I got a set of parabolics from them, now my s1 leans to one side.

So many posts about springs and leaning to drivers side, but in short: weight distribution on Land rovers is biased to the drivers side, particularly with full fuel tanks and heavy drivers... springs are different on driver's/passenger's sides to compensate for this and have different parts numbers.... cheap springs are generally basically the same for both sides (I returned two sets to Paddocks for exactly this reason before they gave me a refund) eventually bought a proper set from GB Springs (surprisingly for very similar money - £215 inc VAT for a full set including delivery and U bolts)... properly biased, marked up with correct part numbers to identify left/right front/back and sorted the problem instantly - Great service too, couldn't recommend them highly enough!!!!

Probably a bit dearer now as this was about 18months - 2 years ago, but I would guess around £250 (link included below)

Don't forget to preload the springs to set the correct ride height before tightening up the bush bolts.

Thanks guys garage checked spring numbers left/right etc i double checked with paddocks they said correct also loaded springs before tightening - looks like faulty springs have to go back to paddocks inch higher on nearside front and odffside back . Thanks for all replies. Martin

Just a thought my mate bought a s111 swb a few years back now with foocked springs and stuff ( leaning over to drivers side ) anyway came to replace the springs with std springs all round and found out that some twit had grafted part of an lwb n/s/r chassis on the truck causing the car to lean over

we planned on fitting a galv chassis at a later date anyway but had to do it a bit sooner instead.

hope yours isn't the case, good look
