Is the Cooper S supposed to lean to the right?

[GMINI]

I have about 2 fingers difference in the top of the tire to fender gap, between the DS and PS rear tires on level surface. The car seems to list to the right. Shock, bushing, spring -- or some cookoo 3 series BMW thing?

Should have compared the gap difference at RDRII. Maybe the give was assisting my drift on those sand covered roads.

Here's a photos courtesy of Aurel. Wish I had a car next to mine.

Don't measure just the gap. Measure the height from the ground as well.
Definitely look into it.

ty

the distance aparent from the photo is misleading?

[CooperS4us]

Begin with the basics....make sure the cold tire air pressure is even on all 4 corners or ar least in respect with each tire front/back.

[GMINI]

You have to admit that one's fairly obvious, mister perfect mini.

basics. of course.

The lean to the right is obvious just sighting over the roof and comparing it to the car in front. I'll check mine tomorrow and get back to u.

[kyriian]

it might sound stupid... but from the point of view it seems it is just camera distortion that's causing it..

if i were u.. just bring out a lever and see if the left and right are even

camera distortion or unlevel pavement... road might "look" even but it might not be.

Thanks, John.

I'm going to measure ground to wheel well apex on both sides.

As this car is built by BMW it may be normal. Under the assumption that most
BMW's are left hand drive and are mainly driven with just the driver in it BMW's
are set with the height set slightly higher on the left. So for the majority of journeys
the weight evens things up. You could always get a volunteer to sit in the left seat
and measure again. For all us right hand drive markets BMW say don't worry it's
not enough to matter. Typical PR bullsubstance as if true why do they bother

[GMINI]

Low and behold today all the measurements were equal! Starting with the rubber to fender finger measurement. Amazing. Like it was never there. Nobody in the cabin each time. Can anyone explain that? Did a bumb shock refill itself with gas???

[EBMCS03]

I say its uneven road... I get that in my own driveway LOOKs even but front suspension says something otherwise

Parallel

I love that one. Very trippy

Try this one, might bring back memories of past chemical experiments
