Default Does your car lean?
Hi, I have a SC430 (same suspension as 2GS) which has a lean to the front driver side (FL). Measuring from the rim to the edge of the wheel well, I get 1/4" difference between the four corners:

RR > RL > FR > FL. So the right rear is 3/4" higher than the FL.

I got this car over a year ago. Noticed this lean more or less from the beginning (not before I bought it).

It does drive straight.

Yes. 2003. 185k km.

I'm not surprised. Just asking how common this is, and when does it usually occur.

FL is a heavy corner...
