after parking the car on a drive way (which is perfectly flat), i notice my car tilting more towards the driver side...is this normal? i check and measure front tire gap to fenders going all the way down on all sides and they're the same, yet it still tilts.



*i had an alignment done to it already.

If your car does tilt, I suspect bad struts or springs. If you think about it, the weight of the driver is always on that side of the car and you don't always have a passenger, so your driver side struts tend to blow more, or so I've been told. But if you measured from the fenders to the ground and it matches up and Mike used Photoshop and measured, it's probably just an optical illusion.

thats where i've seen the problem either the coilover is uneven or bad springs or struts. however like mentioned, floor can be uneven. in fact thats how it looks like for me but could be combination of both.
