HOw far is it leaning? Is the suspension damaged? I have a 99 explorer. Have seen others with the same problem. Owners call it the Explorer lean. The battery is on the drivers side, so is the fuel tank, and adding my big butt behind the steering wheel for twenty years didn't help out things either. Was any front suspension work performed. With torsion bar suspension ride height can be adjusted via an adjustment on each rod, but not too much. Visually inspect the front suspension and shocks for obvious problems. Do the same on the rear paying particular attention to the leaf springs.
