leaning 5er

I have a 2011 cougar 324 rlb. the trailer leans to the passenger side. I have thought about adding spacers or extra leafs to the passenger side springs. Has anyone run across this issue and had any luck?
  • Mine did that. I replaced all four springs and went up a leaf for added capacity. Sits nice and rides better too.

    B.O.
  • yes I had this problem . some 5er's have a large slide with all the kitchen appliances heavy counters and a heavy sofa or entertainment center all on one side while the other side has a table and 4 chairs and maybe a recliner.
    measure the distance from the top of the spring to the frame on both sides and see if there is a difference from one side to the other.
    Mine were about 3/4in. dif. if so replace all four springs and I bought springs with an additional leaf. the additional spring capacity should end the problem.
  • I had that problem and it was a broken spring. Have you inspected underneath?
