Late last night when doing my tyres, I noticed that the front left and rear right wheel arch were much closer to the top of the tyre than the other 2 corners - *at least* a cm!

My personal theory is that I had to do a tight corner reverse into my car park place and being AWD the drive train was 'wound up' a bit.

Can someone put my mind at rest that this is okay.

Does you car wobble when you climb in and out?

Question

Sorry that was a joke. Forgot the smiley. The distance between the wheels and the car on opposite corners couldn't be less. (Like if you get a table with legs which aren't all the same length.) Are you sure one of the wheels wasn't sitting on a bump or something, so carring more of the weight

I assumed as much, I have no sense of humour

uhmmm, no bumps and the tarmac looked flat. I'll check the car again.

Mark the position of the tyres on the road, turn the car round, line it up with the marks and measure again.
