[Elantra GT] Tiburon has slight lean to the right

[Garry Wessels]

Hello Wayne,
   
  The Tiburon GT may be designed that way intentionally. When the weight of the driver is in the car it will correct the lean. I have noticed just the opposite on several cars I have owned-a slight lean to the left. I always assumed it was due to the driver's weight causing a slight sag in the springs. Just my 2 cents worth.

  Hello All 

For some time now I have noticed a definite 
lean to the right (right side lower than left 
side) in my 2005 Tiburon GT. 

Yesterday I took some measurements 
(again) and some photos to take to the 
dealer. 

Measuring from the ground to the top of the 
wheel arch I get a difference of slightly more 
than 1/2 inch measured at both axles. This 
may not sound like much but on my level 
garage floor the difference is quite visible. 
Not only that but the rear of the car sits a 
little lower than the front although l am not 
so much concerned about that. 

The car only has 13 500 miles or 
thereabouts and as far as l can tell the 
suspension is in good order. I do have a 
Progress sway bar at the rear but that did 
not cause the lean which was there before 
the sway bar was replaced. 

Any ideas or similar experiences? Any Tib 
owners want to take some quick 
measurements and report back here?

Best Regards 
Wayne
