Default 2006 suspention

Hi, I have a 2006 c1500 silverado crew cab. problem is left front is 1 inch lower than the right side. no problems as far as ride or tire wear, it just drives me nuts everytime i see it sitting sitting on level ground and the truck has cockeyed stance. i took it back to the dealer and they agreed it was out of wack and they had some kind of bulletin that said some trucks have this problem. they replaced left coil spring, no diff. they did something to the right rear, no diff. so at that point they shrugged their shoulders. any of you guys know of anything i could do to get this truck the way it should be?? thanks all

Have you had the truck since new? Get a car fax done. What does the wheel alignment say? Should have replaced both frt. springs at the same time. or does it have Torsion bars?

Yup,bought it new but it took some time before i measured it [i thought i was seeing things for a long time] it was still under warranty when all this was done. the dealer finally said "dunno" let you know if we find or hear something.

This is a common problem and a damned shame that GM hasn't done something about it.Google "chevy lean" and you should come up with something. I would try another dealer also.
