Hello people i am an omega novice and totally new to the site .
I have a 2ltr tourer estate which runs like a dream,but noticed yesterday that the car leans about 2" on the N/S front through to back and pulls to the left quite sharply.
i would be grateful for your advice

If you lift car on jack at front you can see coil springs and look for a break.No need to take off wheel. Carnt see it being any thing else really?

Broken coils or somebodys fitted a single shock or spring, always fit suspension parts in axle pairs.......did I mention, Always in pairs.

Roll down the drivers window fully, lean out of the window until your outstretched fingers can just touch the bottom of the door trim strip. Now the next bit is crucial...lower your head gently onto your right shoulder (keeping a firm grip on the wheel with your left hand) and gaze down at the ground. The extra weight of your eyeballs should now have brought the car onto an even keel Simples

If you need to have a little extra lean to the right simply drive with the drivers side front and rear doors open.If this is not working you can also remove the passenger side front and rear doors for extra weight shift
