MY RX-8 is slanted
Crap... I dun know what happened to my car. Yesterday I walked up to my car from behind and I found something werid. The car was SLANTED!!!
I have no idea why this is happeneing, I jacked to car up once and I lowered it to change my tire. Then few days later (today), the car is slanted.
The wheel gap on the left is one and a half finger, and the wheel gap on the right is two and a half to three fingers gap (sorry I didn;t go measure it).. I am chinese (small hands.... NO... it doesn;t mean something else is small too.. God is far
)
Can anyone please give me some advice?

no, they are both the same.
I have the old tire back on now. So both tires are even.
there is nothign in the trunk either, so I really dun know why is the car slanted.

Have you driven the car at all after you had it jacked up?
Upon lowering the car, your suspension may not settle completely until you drive it around because you had the transmission in gear or the parking brakes on.

I gave it a lot of time. It has been two weeks since I drop my car back down.
I went to autocrossing with the suspension limped (okay, that was not smart.. but it was the second to last in Boston).
My baby is still slanted.... could it have been the night I have been banging some gurl... nah... =P
SOMEONE HELP.... she drives perfectly fine...
haha I got a pretty good time in autocrossing... maybe it was suppose to be slanted?????

My car lists to one side (left) in my garage, which is dead level. To enter the garage, I turn right into the garage on a driveway that slopes to the left, loading the left side. It retains that loading in the garage. It appears level at other times, like in the parking garage at work. Something about the rear suspension geometry I would guess, but what do I know?
