Hi Folks,
I have a 2015 Kakdu with OEM suspension. When it was parked on the driveway (no additional load, other than two child seats) I thought the car was leaning heavily to the right (looking from behind)... A quick measure from ground to top of wheel arch along the centre line revealed a 40 mm difference between the rear left and right. The difference for the front was about 5 mm.
Figuring this was due to the driveway being crook (it does have bit of a slope), pulled it into the garage and did same measurement, this time the difference was 15 mm, still lower on the right. So I proceeded to lift the back using the air suspension. The difference is then just 2-3 mm (still lower on the right). When I brought it back down the normal height, the difference is back to 15 mm again.
My other half's XC60 only has a 2 mm difference between either side parked in the same position.
So, does anyone know what is the threshold for an acceptable difference left and right sides. I figure 15 mm is a bit on the high side. Also, I thought the "Kakadu lean" is generally associated following after market suspension lifts and not operating within factory setting...
Any thoughts?
Cheers
