Default Leaning

New shocks last year on 1997 Disco. Significant lean to passenger side. Also front passenger side wheel well is almost 2 inches lower than driver side. Could this be a sway bar issue? or coil springs or bushings? Drives fine. On the beach it feels loose at the top of each bump. Any ideas?

disconnect your sway bars and if its still leaning put your girl on a diet.

Sounds like a broken spring, time to install that lift you always wanted.

When you put in the shocks, did you re-use the original springs?

shocks don't matter with ride height they just slow the travel of the suspention

Just replaced shocks, not springs. Do I reconnect the sway bar?

If the sway bar isnt why its leaning i would put it back on.
Sound more like a broken or bad spring to be leaning that much.

Check your springs, you have one that has collapsed or is broken.
Sway bars and shocks will not cause this to happen.
