Disco 1 Discovery Body is leaning on the right

[ApostolBologa]

I'm currently redoing floor + boxed sills on my discovery 200 TDI.
Aside from a small well on left B pillar, the sills are not yet welded.
The body is only helded by the 2 front mounts and 2 back mounts.

But it is leaning to the right. Is this a body issue ? Or a sprouts / suspension issue ?

Definitely a sprouts issue

Poor chap, Hinglish deffo isn't his first language.
But I am wondering what Italian word also translates as sprouts. Could he simply mean spings?

Of course he could,

I did mean coil springs.

Haha, sorry about that.
I don't mind the friendly banter.
Not Italian, though. England's oldest enemy

What, the French?

What, the French?

Ha Ha, the French weren't the French then! Before amalgamation!
Maybe he means the Vikings.

The Welsh then?

I guess it depends on how far back you can go!

It has to be the French, nobody likes them.

The Welsh then?

Well, they do speak proper english ...
No, not Welsh.

Apart from theses ethnic considerations, any idea about my leaning problem ?

from someone that knows their heritage

check if the chassis is parallel with the body

chances are that only having front and rear body / chassis mounts will allow a rusty body to twist in the middle, especially the drivers side as most commonly used door & seat area....

Rich.

The most likely issue is the springs I would have thought. Measure to check the ride height using the chassis rather than body to check. If that is all level then if the body is rubber mounted check them.

Springs are usually handed, because the weight is always biased to allow for the driver. Previous owner might have put them on incorrectly. I had this conversation the other day in Craddocks, after buying a set of springs for a 90.
