Hello Everyone -
I must be just plain stupid or something. I looked at my '95 ZJ the other day and I noticed a definite leaning toward the passenger side. It seems that I've lost about 2" of wheel clearance in both passenger wheels.
WTH??
I replaced the shocks all around about 6 months ago and I don't "see" (hence my being a noob) that the ZJ has struts at all, so what could be the problem? I also checked for broken coil springs, but didn't find THAT either.
So, again, WTH??
To make matters worse, it's state safety inspection time again and I'm so broke I can't even pay attention so I hope any and all repair suggestions are relatively cheap.
Thanks again!

I'd be willing to bet your right front spring has fatigued and the rest of them could stand to be replaced as well. I say that because the rear one seems to be sympathetic and is sagging also. JMHO.

Shocks do not support the weight of the vehicle, that is handled by the springs.
Ok - I can see the point about the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle, but wouldn't there be a front end bounce when I hit a bump? I haven't noticed that at all.
