Car Leans?!?!?

[dean]

Hi all

Car sailed through its m.o.t on monday no advisory's or anything for the 6th year in a row, which is good .
Problem is it has started to lean, with the passenger side riding higher by 10mm than the drivers side but is only noticable on the back, but i will have to measure to confirm this. I am running hydrorincage again at the moment, upto about 1800mls so far this time round but im not sure if there is a mechanical problem causing the lean or if there is anyway sludge moving around the system could do it?? I had a quick look last night and the roll bars are bolted on tight so any idea's??
Im sure someone else had this problem but i cant find the post anywhere

Hi D

A few people have had this -not only on this forum, not only on XMs- but I've never read about anyone having found the reason why -except of course when it was that some component was distorted/assymetrical etc-.

So, sticky cylinder in my opinion.

Perhaps you could start with many Citrobics to see if it clears sooner or later, hopefully, you might be the first person to confirm the suspected correlation!!

Very curious on that one.

ps. to make it faster, since the problem is only at the rear: don't wait for the front to rise as well, in my car I was able to have the rear pumping up/down before the front did anything.
