Newbie Need Help with a 2006 SE. Tilting prolem
Hello,
I just got my new 2006 SE 4Runner a couple of days ago. I noticed today that the car tilts/sags on the left side when viewing the car from rear. Initially I thought it's just poor lighting in the parking area of my building. But I've confirmed it by dragging my wife to the parking area to double check this. It's not the tire pressure issue either as I tried to park the car the other way around. It tilts/sags on the left side either nose in or tail in the parking spot.
Is this normal? I've never had this type of issue with my previous cars. (This is my 1st Toyota and SUV)
It seems the parking spot is uneven. Right side is slightly higher than left. When I say slightly I mean it's less than 1/2 degree. Maybe even less.
Is this normal for a 4Runner when the ground is slightly uneven?
I've tried my other car in the same spot. It's a Prelude and the car is much lower than the 4Runner. I do not notice the sagging or tilting on the left side. Really like to know if this seems normal to you. I've never had this type of issue with any of my previous cars either but they are not SUVs.
Does this happen to anyone of you?
Your comment on this is highly appreciated.

Well, I'll try this one. Take your truck to a friend's garage, and measure it. Most home garage floors are pretty level. Measure from the conter of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel well.
If it's off, back to the dealer. It's not normal.
