    I drive a 1998 Volvo sleeper, i replaced both spring leafs, shock absorbers and shackles. And every time I drive in a left curve over 55mph it feels like my truck is gonna flip over, especially in tight left curves even of I am loaded or empty. Any suggestions Where to start from or what can it be the problem?

    Is it actually the whole truck leaning or is it just the cab? Cab suspension components could possibly be worn out.

    The small air bags and the little shock absorbers they old maybe since 1998 lol. You think that can be the problem? Cuz only going tight left curves is the problem

    If your torque rod at the back of the bunk is worn out it can cause the cab to lean. If the shocks are worn out there won’t be any dampening for your air bags.

    98-2003 Volvo’s use shocks mounted in a horizontal position to control lateral movement.

    His other issue could be front cab bushings are worn out and need replacing.
