Default height difference between left & right front wheel

hey guys,

i noticed the space between my left front wheel and the fender is less than it is on the right side. in other words my left side sits a little lower. the difference is around 2/5inch or 1cm. i drive a '03 350z.

i asked my dealer to have a look at it during my last service but they couldn't pinpoint te problem.

what is the most logical cause for this?

thnx,

reinier

terrasmak: you mean it's just a normal offset and nothing to worry about?

I actualy have the same issue with my 350z, only it's the rear. The right wheel has about a half inch less space.

It actually varies depending on full loading. Fuel loading actually changes the front a little too, cause the tank is in front of the axle.
