Truck lean

Hello everyone
I just got a 06 Tacoma and it has a really bad lean I’ve read some posts and saw the taco lean was hoping people could look at this picture and tell me it’s just that pictures are driver and passenger side thanks everyone for your time

 

Without aftermarket coilovers you can throw a small spacer lift on your passenger side that will correct it a bit. Ride may worse a little bit it should help.

 

Just have one tire at 50psi and the other at 20

 

the struts being at different levels ok? Both pictures taken with top of phone touching wheel well didn’t know if that’s the taco lean sorry I don’t know much about trucks trying to learn

 

That seems excessive. Taco lean is like 1/4” difference from side to side or something minimal like that.

 

The standard method is to park it on level ground, take a tape measure, and measure center of wheel to the fender at its center arch, all four corners.

Being a 2006, I'm betting your shocks and/or bushings are worn. If they are original to the truck, that's lasted longer than most suspension components.

 

I thought it was more of a lean then normal and on flat ground just front driver side goes down

 

You offset the passenger side so it rolls the driver's side up. Again a 1/2" spacer will fix what you want to do it the cheapest and easiest.

 

I did one of these with my 5100s

On flat ground measure the frame to the ground both sides and see if they match. Pretty much rules out suspension if they are the same.

 

I’ve installed 3rd Gen off-road coils, shocks, leaf springs and sumo lift blue type on the back. I also installed a headstrong taco lean 1/4 inch spacer to the driver’s side front, which didn’t affect drivability at all. My truck drives so much better and I raised the front slightly.

 

1st. things 1st. go to level ground and measure from hub center to fender and write numbers down then report back. Then you can make decision. Next how full is your tank when you see lean all the time or just at full. But I would guess your suspension is spent being an 06. And take picture from rear too.
Then ask 2nd Gen. guys for help in which direction you might be able to go and afford.

 

Mine was way more than 1/4" lean. Spacer helped before coilovers, but even after cranking up the driver's side, it's still got the taco lean. As mentioned, throw a spacer in there.
Only other thing I can say is to check for a broken spring. But if it's in good shape, then yea...spacer and/or coilover to help level it out.

 

Closer inspection it did rain today but passenger side is all dry and not squished down like that

 

Looks like strut is leaking.
Probably should pull back camera a little.

 

Where are you located?

Welcome to TW

 

How many miles do you have, give us some info on your truck and get that picture from the rear on level ground.

 

I have a set of oem struts, rear shocks and ucas if you want them. From TRD Offroad ( yellow and blue bilsteins) They had maybe 2/3k miles when I took them off. No coils but yours should transfer. You can have them for free just pay shipping. I'm in Cali so shipping might be 50/100 bucks idk
