Does this happen to anyone else? 1 wheel off the ground...
 
So every morning when I pull into the parking garage at work, I go down an incline at an angle. I have no clearance issues, but the passenger side front wheel lifts off of the ground for a few seconds and then gently makes contact as I continue...does this happen to anyone else? Is it somehow bad for the car? Take a look at this video, b/c this is the same thing that happens to me:

It's fine and normal. You're basically are running out of droop, and that's ok.

Ja, it happens on all sorts of stiffly set up cars with little suspension travel.

These cars are so stiff they must be on Viagra. I noticed that when jacking up a wheel, the wheel on the other side lifts off the ground.

you should sell the car for pennies on the dollar to me. you don't want a car that can't keep its wheels on the road. very unsafe.

normal: if you touch the brake the ABS light will come on. Computer thinks there is a problem and your brake balance will be all Fuc*ed up. Just turn the car off then start it back up and the light should clear and all is fine.
It is a stiff car. When I jack it up from the rear side jack point three wheels come off the ground

what Roberga says about the check engine light is correct, however, just shutting off the car and re-start will not clear the light...the light will go off as soon as you start to drive...if you remain in one spot the light won't reset:thumbup:

Everyday for me...have the JRZ Cups on mine and lowered.....back out the drive and the tire lifts about three inches ......I used to kill myself at an AutoX or a DE to get that kind of lift. Who ever thought it would happen a .25 mph in my driveway.

The ABS light does not go off until you restart the car. Happens all the time to me as I turn at the end of my drive. Touch the brakes and on comes the ABS warning light. Goes off only when I restart the car next.
