2012 TL front too low? Brushes curb/ground.
I just bought a 2012 TL SH-AWD base. Loving it so far. I have however noticed that when driving out of parking lots and driveways, the bottom front sometimes scrapes the ground when the drop-off is fairly steep. I never had this problem with my 2002 TL. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, is it cause for concern, and should I do anything about it? Thanks and much appreciation for any insight you can provide.

Negative.
|
ever wonder that its because it is not a 2002 tl?
lol angle your car next time slightly, you will like it. |
Yes, the front end is low. As noted, angles help AND so does a slower speed.
|
Add in the aero kit and you have to be even more carerful!
|
adjust the way you drive!
|
is your tire pressure ok? you have TPMS, but just check to make sure its good anyway. if i scrape out of my drieway, i know i'm a 1-2 psi low in my 3G TL.
|
Ya mine will bottom out in my driveway but i use my neighbors side which is less steep lol
|
The 'nose' in front of the front wheels has definitely been pushed a bit further out and lower (aerodynamic chin spoiler) over the years in the TL's. You get used to it.

Wife was constantly scraping the drive at work. I told her to use another driveway/entrance.:ponder:
Now if I could only get her to watch the fucking curb when she parks those 19"wheels next to it, I wouldn't need silver touch-up paint. |
if you have nothing constructive to say, dont say anything at all..
|
I was on the way to grandma's house, when all of a sudden I came to a steep embankment. Is it steep? only one way to find out. I carefully drove through it. to my surprise, I cleared that steep piece of land.

^ nice catch!
