Car tilted left
Anyone elses TSX tilt to the left? I'm thinking it's the suspension. I took it to the dealership and they replied, "it's normal and that most cars lean either left or right". They measured both sides and said it was different by 1/4" which is not enough to warrant an issue. Thoughts, ideas? Thanks in advance!
Note: ground is flat and all tire pressures have been checked to ensure proper inflation.

I would go to another dealership and have it checked out.
That first dealership you went to, did you get their explanation in writing, cause that doesn't sound right at all.

Most cars are not perfectly balanced from left and right. It's not unusual for one side to be higher but shouldn't be execessively higher. I have taken one of my other cars to the dealer and they said it's normal and won't do anything about it. I even swapped the rear shock/spring assembly with the same result. ![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Btw, I notice it's always the rear right corner that is higher.

It looks like the picture to me. BTW, most garage floors are tilted for drainage... one way or another. Only true way to see if the car is balanced is to put a scale under each wheel, but then you sitting in it changes it too.

Even with the floor being compensated for, it still shouldn't be blatently obvious that the car is uneven. What you could try to do is measure it yourself. Just measure from the floor up to the bottom of the fender. Do it on all 4 corners and see if it matches up from left to right. That way you'll know if it's 1/4 inches or if the dealer was bsing you and it was really 3 inches of difference.
