Car leans over to one side

About a week after I picked up my love I noticed that she hung over slightly to the right (driver side).

Very wierd - I checked the garage floor but everything seemed level except the car. I then measured the hight of the wheel arches relative to the floor and sure enough, she was 2cm (about an inch) lower (front and rear) than the other side.

This may not sound like much but I noticed it and I new it was going to bug me until I had it fixed.

The monkies looked at me like I was on drugs when I pointed out the discrepancy. After measuring the arches they shook their heads and promised to have it fixed by the end of the day.

I found out later that it was a misaligned strut on the front wheel that pulled the whole car down on the right.

Six months down the line and I can see it sagging again. Has anyone else had this problem? - Is it the strut as claimed

So it's lower on the right side then on the left side you say?

Well, i never experienced somthing like that, but it seems to me you should be heading to the dealer again

When you drive, does it drive straight or does it also lean to the right quite a bit?

Lower on the right.

I can't notice the lean when I drive - and the steering is not affected.

It's a small problem most people can live with but I worry that it could become a bigger problem later.

Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it's off to the shop I go!
