Someone tell me if this is logical thinking...
So, on the passenger side of my truck, the front fenderlip is lower than the drivers side. Also, when my two 250lb buddies get in the passenger side, the fender drops down about another 1"-1½". But when the fender drops drastically like that, the tire's camber doesn't change. If it was the SPRING that was compressing, wouldn't the camber on the tire change aswell? Therefore my thinking is that is must be the cab/body mounts that are squishing, allowing the cab/body on that side to drop.
