Hi ppl,

Looking at the rear of my 33IE, it appears to be tilted (i.e. the left side of the car at the back looks lower than the right side).

I know the strut pan bearing on the front, on that side has "collapsed", but I'm not sure this would cause such an obvious tilt at the rear.

Perhaps the springs have lost their "springiness" - Perhaps the car is bent?!?!?!?

How would I find out?! Any ideas folks?!?!?

Thanks!

Rob

Hi Rob,

wouldn't let sleeping for that problem, I think I'll still haven't seen one 33 that stands perfectly level to the tarmac. They all seem to have that problems, even lot's of other older models. I've tried switching the springs, made sure the spring-discs where identical, everyting, and still.... You get used to that kind a things after a while I suppose.

Regards!

Hey Rob

I guess your car is RHD sooo, with you siting in the driver seat it should be all level

actually mine is LHD and is level when empty, but tilts left with me in it (98kg)

car is also LHD and me myself just not putting 0.1 tons on the scale (and 2m long). It's an alfa's charactaristic we'll just have to deal with....
