Do 355's lean to one side?

I have just been looking at my F355 GTS and it seems to lean to one side. Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

Post a photo

 

Is it leaning down on the passenger side?

 

It's leaning to the right hand side of the car.

 

Sorry mate I have no photos at present but will take one and post up.

 

So its leaning down on the drivers side?

 

I have just looked at a pic of my old LHD F355b and it leans to the left. My new RHD F355 GTS is leaning to the right.

Yes down the driver's side.

 

I don’t know if this will help, but I had a similar issue with a M3. After replacing the spring on the low side, it is straight as an arrow. The dealer mechanic told me the original spring was defective and had lost its compression.

 

Boy, I really want to make a "fat chick" comment here, but I know it would be in bad taste and not very helpful, so just ignore the thought.

 

I would measure the ride height of the lower suspension a-arms mounting bolt (at all 4 corners).....and compare the results front and rear. Make sure you post the results here (there is a stagger front to rear of 20 to 25mm depending if your car is setup stock or to challenge specs). And when you measure the mounting bolt height, measure from the middle of the bolt to the ground in m.m.
The suspension coils are individually adjustable .......maybe someone tried adjusting the ride height and was not quite successfull?

 

I noticed the same thing on a 99 355 I was going to buy. When I went to put it on the rack, I had to lift the passenger side of the car, whereas the drivers side cleared by about an inch. I think it is to account for the weight of the driver, but not sure.

 

How much do you weigh? LOL.

 

+1 - the proper way to set corner weights would be with the driver in, which might give some lean with no driver seated. Ask the challenge guys in the racing section, they would know more about this

 

This is not right.
The springs should not sag an inch from the drivers weight (how much does the driver weigh here?)
When I sit in my 355 it does not visually drop AT ALL.
So if your car , parked, is down an inch on one side there is a suspension issue here that needs to be addressed.

p.s. my car was set up by the dealer race team w/ corner weights and a dummy weight in the driver seat.....the car visually looked straight and when I measured the suspension heights afterwards they were virtually identical (were talking in mm measurements here).

I'm thinking there's a connection to hair gel...

 

T-boned and then restored is the only explanation
