    Yes I had my buddy that’s a mechanic inspect it with me. But the drivers side sits lower than the passenger side, I know about the taco lean but it seems more to me I could be wrong though

    Oh my bad, I meant inspect it in general, to have that much bad with it. But yeah apparently he missed some stuff. Yeah and easily coulda missed something with the suspension. Gotcha gotcha, yeah look for cracked leaves and using a big pry bar check all the bushings and the joints. I think you know that stuff. Otherwise could just be fatigue with age

    I claim to know nothing lol i am by no means a mechanic which is why I hire someone to do that work for me. He looked it over but again for 1200$ can’t expect too much
