Default Hmmmm.....car seems to lean towards the Pass side

Took the car out of the garage and parked at the apt parking lot. While walking away I looked back and noticed that it leaned to one side. I wasn't sure if it was the parking spot, so I moved it to another location and checked it again. Same thing <img src="images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> . I installed the BMR adjustable pan hard bar and probably don't have it align right, but could there be any other explanation? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Thanks

That's kinda odd. I do know that the coil springs on the drivers side are stiffer than those on the passenger side, that may have something to do with it. Check the tire pressures and you may want to take a quick look at the shocks. Good luck.

Seriously, does any one else have this problem? I have noticed this same thing on my car. I thought it was just because I have already lowered it and not installed an adjustable PHR yet. But now that I see someone else with the problem, maybe thats not the problem.

A while back a buddy was over to hang out and I noticed that his car was a little low on the right. So we got out the measuring tape and checked his 2000 Formula, my 2000 Formula, and my wifes '98 SS and all of them were 1/4 to 3/8" low on the right. We wondered if it was engineered in to compensate for the drivers weight? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> Beings that most of the time these cars are driven solo? With just the driver, the car levels right out.

My car does the exact same thing! i have hotchkis springs and a hotchkis Adj PHR!! i noticed it a while back and actually measured it, cant remember how off it was but it was somewhere around a 1/2 inch difference!! the passenger side of my car looks freaking sweet...lol i thought maybe when i installed the springs that they were left and right but i guess not...odd!!! maybe someone has a better explanation... <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">
