I was thinking with the pass side being low, the weight of a driver would even things out...

Car might do a sample and then average. If so, do you routinely park on a hill?

Default How certain are you of that level garage floor?
Try parking on other surfaces and see what happens. To notice a 13mm difference puts you in a catagory unto yourself!!

Default It's easy to set specs after a production run
..that way they are all within spec.

lol what a joke to hear this from a company that sells cars at these prices.

Then there's the speedometer error. Wonder if it compounds if you turn left or right?

I noticed it one day when it was sitting in the driveway. Put it in the garage on a dead level surface and got out a yard (meter) stick. Not rocket science to measure from the groune to the top ot the wheel arch. Try it and let me know what you find.....
