Has anyone else had a problem with the car tilting towards one side of the car? My driver's side appears to tilt toward's the driver's side. All the tires are properly inflated, and I have no suspension modifications or anything. Thirdly, I'm not an overweight person :chuckles: before people start asking how much I weigh..only 157. Anyone ever had this or know what is going on? Thanks in advance.

maybe an extreme case of uneven tread wear

It's not that slight..at first I thought it was my imagination, but my friends have noticed it occasionally as well...and this is parked on level ground

I have same problem, I weigh about 180lbs, and I usually take the off ramps at about 55-75mph, and I have noticed that my car does sit a little lower on the driverside. I just assumed I wore out the springs some....

That happens to me too when i'm taking turns. I think its called body roll...

Could be a suspension part that has worn out extremely prematurely.

I'm talking about parked, not moving
It seems to be more severe over the front drivers side tire, I'm gonna have Toyota check it out when I bring it in on monday

do u have aftermarket suspension parts? if so, it could be that they weren't made perfectly.
when u say slightly to the drivers side.. how slightly? can you notice a difference in wheel gap btw the two sides?

let me throw in my .02 anyway. I think theres a possibility for cars to lean to one side a little bit (in this case leans down on driver side) if you always take right turns at high speed. Which I think could cause the struts/springs on the driver side to be a bit more compressed then the other side. Or just making one side of the car softer in whatever ways.
For me, alot of times I take highway off-ramps really fast, and all of them are right turns, but my car's height is perfectly even on both sides...
But...for my theory to come true, I think the ratio of agressive right turns VS. agressive left turns must be something like 50 hard right turns to 1 hard left turn once in a while. So guys who does autocrossing might even this out...i dunno....but the way cars are designed today, it must take a big effort for this to happen.

There's a noticeable difference in wheel gaps...I do not have any aftermarket suspension parts on the car..it's going in to Toyota tomorrow.
