I noticed that with my 20's on that my car rubbs only when i turn right around corners and not left. When you look on each side fender, the right side is sitting right on the tire. The left side is a 1/2" above the fender. What wrong with that picture?

This question has been posted a number of times apparently many people here believe that this is normal.....sigh! and that this is intentional due to the fact that the battery in on the right side and when a driver gets in it levels the car. Now my question has been but what happens when a passenger gets in it then is uneven again?

The other solution I have heard is to upgrade to coilovers. still pretty expensive for a problem that so many people have thats out of our control

Thanks man. That seems to be a little short sighted on BMW's part by not factoring more than just the driver in a family sedan....

I wonder if theres a bushing or part that may be defective only on the right side of alot of these cars? Thing is its always the right side also maybe its just me but sometimes its at normal height and sometimes its lower?
