Car tilting or leaning towards driver side more then passenger side..

imported_06civic · 03-10-2006, 08:52 PM

Have any of you noticed that while driving or even when no one is sitting inside.

I have also noticed this occasionally. It's not as bad as I thought though (I park in a parkade where I'd really see it but then I put a ball on the floor of the parkade and discovered the floor leans that way too :) )

I am 6ft and weigh about 238 lbs, my wife said that may be, because this car is made for smaller people who weigh less… Thank GOD I am not the only one… I think It’s just sensitive to road tilts and likes to tilt with it..

I've 6'2" and 235 lb myself so I feel your pain :)

I actually tested my parkade floor -- it actually leans to the drivers side. I backed into the spot and indeed it was leaning then to the passenger side. I think there is a little bit of lean since the driver's side springs have settled a little earlier than the passenger springs but it's barely noticeable on an actual flat surface...

I noticed the same thing and mine's brand new. It's sitting in my driveway on light gravel, appears level until you look at the tires....there is a gap in wheel well 5" on right side and on the other side none. I checked my other car right beside it and it was only one inch" difference between rear.
When scheduling my alignment I was told this was the independant rear suspension and normal.

Sure helps explain some of the road stability issues I have had with this car though, that even a minor fluctuation in ground it's sitting on causes it to move that much. I know I am not driving on level surfaces.

Looks fine on flat pavement.

First Post on this board..woohoo!!

I don't know if my problem is really similar to any of yours, but I feel like my car pulls to the left a bit on the highway. I have had the dealer test drive it 3 times, just to tell me that they don't think the car pulls. My brakes judder when used at high speeds, which require rotor resurfacing, and also the O2 sensor is shot. I have an appointment to get the O2 sensor and the brakes fixed, but it seems like they’re not willing to do an alignment.
