Identified why my Jimny is titling to the right; Fixed under warranty!

They found that the recoil of the right shock is poor, which is likely contributing to the rightward lean.

BHPian arunedwin recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed a slight lean of my Jimny to the right when it’s stationary. It’s my daily commuter, and most of the time, it’s just me driving, except on Sundays when I’m with family. I’m running 215/75/R15 tires with the stock suspension and covered around 9k kms.

Has anyone experienced something similar, and if so, did the service center offer any solutions?

Update on the Jimny leaning issue:

The service team inspected the shocks and springs and identified the rear right shock absorber as the cause of the leaning issue. They found that the recoil of the right shock is poor, which is likely contributing to the rightward lean. A replacement under warranty is being planned.
