Is my suspension gubbed or am I imagining it?

Parked the car in its usual spot tonight turned back to look at it and the offside front was sitting about an inch lower than the nearside.

Took it around the block and it felt fine, stopped on the road and it looked ok ish, possibly still slightly lower on the offside. I could get two fingers between the tyre and the wheel arch on the nearside easily, offide was marginally smaller gap maybe only couple of mil.

Parked it again and now appears to be sitting normally.

The bay it usually sits in isnt the flatest bit of tarmac in the world but there are no huge bumps or hollows. Could it just have been enough to put a bit more compression on the offside front or could be susupension be effed?

Anyone free to have a looksy? If something is needing done I'll need to move sharp if I want to make it to Teesside :(

Has it definatly gone away?

If so just keep and eye on it.

I had a bit of a list on my car which was a failed spring. The prev owner had replaced one front spring but not the other :roll:
