I went to the dealer yesterday for the 8,000 Kms oil change. Mentioned that when viewed from the rear, the car appears to sit noticably lower on the driver's side. When I returned the service manager told me that they found nothing wrong and measured two other 8's that were in the shop. The same tilt was measured on the other 8's. I encouraged him to run this by the Mazda tech guys but have me doubts that he will.

Has anyone else noticed this tilt? And any better technical feedback?

 

One thing I have learned is ALL cars lean to one side or the other and are never perfectly level.

I noticed this too and since I am used to this kind of thing (right clyde) I knew not to worry about it.

My 2 BMW 3 series was lower on the right side then the left (and so was every other BMW 3 serie's I measured) the reason for this is the battery is on the rear right side

My 98 Eclipse Convertible had a lean I think that one was to the left and it was mostly in the front and all Eclipses had that as well. Its chauked up to the engine being more on the left side then the right


So in other words if they all do it, don't worry !!!

 

When my boat leans/lists, it means I just need to get the head pumped out.

 

WOW you must make some big you know what to tilt a boat :D

 

My 2002 VW Passat W8's rear end looked like it was shifted one inch to the right! When you looked at it from the rear the left wheel was farther in and the right wheel stuck out more.

 

With the name "RXATE" I am a little hesitant to ask how much do you weigh?

I'm being serious since I weigh 100 Kg myself and I wonder if weight has any effect. (and yes it would be a poor design if it did have an effect)
