Bus leaning to one side
When I look at my bus from thye front it seems to be leaning to one side a bit. I don't think it used to do this. Does anyone have any ideas
what might be causing this?
Thanks

You need a passenger as well as a driver to balance it up 
Seriously though, assuming there isn't something heavy loaded on that side, springs do sag over time, so maybe one side has sagged more than the
other??
The rear torsion bars can be adjusted to correct this if it's the cause.

This is exactly why we had the argument the other day. You have no idea how suspension works. The height of the car remains unchanged if a shock is
fitted or not, let alone working or not.
SUSPENSION 101 lesson 1:
A spring holds the car in the air.
A shock controls the movement of the said spring.
