H3 Lean to Left... Service - once again

[hmrlvr]

I had the same issue with a Chevy truck I bought new a few years back. The service dept. said it was a suspension thing??? They never fixed it, just bought the truck back from me due to many other unresolved issues.
Good luck

I also think this has something to do with the torsion bars. Before the adjustment, my H3 also leaned to the left. The gas tank level did nothing for the issue. After I had the bars adjusted for height in the front, the garage (not a GM garage but one that specilizes in alignments) indicated that they felt the aligment was off from the factory. The garage spent an hour and half tuning, retuning, and fine tuning (only charged me for an hour) the alignment. It is now within a 1/2" of being perfectly level at all four corners and does not have a noticeable lean to the left like it did. And I believe the ride quality is a lot better, with less front end sway, especially in corners and curves.

Just an afterthought - could this problem be caused by the trucks being winched down to the cargo trains and tractor trailers for delivery to the dealerships?

My Yellow one leans and the Gray does not so I just park the Yellow Duck on an incline...

With some of the other issues I've had with my H3, I've never had this one. (Don't want to either ... ) Is it enough of a tilt that makes you think you have a slow leak when approaching the truck? I've never noticed a lean on others, but then again, maybe they've been parked on a slant.

you can correct it by adjusting your tortion bar on that side.

I got my truck leveled. I got daring and started adjusting the torsion bars. The left and right front were out of balance, the right was too stiff and the left was too soft. The left front being soft was allowing the right rea to rise up. I visted my local Hummer dealer and took measurements on several 2007 H3's. The surprising part was this is a big issue, i checked over a dozen vehicle and no two H3 sat the same. They were all at different heights front and rear and all leaned to the left between 1/4" - 1". For my H3 I ended up stiffing the left front torsion bar by 2 3/4 turns, and softening the right front by 2 1/2 turns. The truck is now level left to right int he front and the rear and has a 2 1/4" rake in the front. It also rides much better and the feel in the steering wheel is more even when taking bumps. Before the adjust the right front took bumps much harder then the left.

In short I can't image a dealer taking the time to do this. The adjustments were very simple, but I spent the better part of a day making slight adjustments, driving the vehicle, rechecking my measurements and then adjusting it again. I'm off to get a wheel alignment Monday and put this behind me. Thanks for the advise.

Mine leans to the left pretty bad, I'm going to the dealer tomorrow.
