I have a 2016 Colorado WT 2.8 diesel that leans to the drivers side. A full 1-1.5 inch difference measured from rear wheel well side to side; 35 3/8 drivers side and 36 1/2 inch pass side, spec is 37 +/- 1/2 inch. The front is 34 3/4 drivers and 35 3/8 pass side, spec is 35 +/- 1/2 at wheel wells. My concerns have been premature tire wear, undue stress on suspension components not to mention overall vehicle handling. The dealership measured the vehicle, their initial thoughts were that the vehicle was OK. Wrong answer! I've contacted GM customer support, they are engaged but so far no answers. There is an open case with GM (SR 8-2993809199), I will repost if and when there is a solution. I was an automotive engineer/manager for a significant period of time, trim heights are a suspension/spring issue... hopefully GM will see through this item and come to the same conclusion.
Update from Aug 24, 2017: I contacted GM/Chevrolet and with the Chevy Dealer's Service, the left spring was replaced. My 2016 Chevy Colorado WT Diesel now has 21000 miles, approximately 1500 miles since the spring replacement and the vehicle is now level! GREAT!
I have a 2016 Colorado that leans to the drivers side. A full 1 inch difference measured from rear wheel well side to side and 1/2 inch difference in the front wheel wells. My concerns have been premature tire wear and undue stress on suspension components. The dealership and GM are addressing the problem but so far no answers. A strut/spring has already been replaced on the front driver side but didn't help. There is an open case with GM and I will repost if and when there is a solution.
