is this supposed to happen

 

[mr sheep]

why have u parked like that, if the left side is too high then obviously the right wont touch the floor .

 

[Dink]

mate the parking is sh*t where i live.

ive got 3 car park dents in my car from where it was parked outside my house

 

[midge]

do you have something heavy in the left side?

I thought thats what all hot hatch things did, something to do with the configuration of the rear axle? Cant think what its called now.

 

[derv]

youll find most hot hatches with a stiff chassis will do it

Thats the pic I was thinking of! lol

hehe, took me a bit to find it out!

if i swing hard enough on to my drive the back wheel lifts like that

its to do with the torsion in the rear torsion bar, twists the outer wheel up when the inner is under load, thats why you see 106 guts and 172s on three wheels on track days!
