Default Handling Question

The last day or two I have noticed that when I am making a left turn it feels like the body is rolling over on the passenger side rear tire. Like maybe the rear shock is compressing way to far or the opposite front shock is lifting out. I looked around underneath and nothing appears to be loose or leaking so I am lost. I have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow but thought I would try and get a heads up. Thanks in advance for any advice. ( Oh and its not a flat tire)

You didn't mention which suspension you have....base, Z51, F55, other?
I assume you checked all your tires visually and with a digital gauge. Anti-sway bars torqued-down? Did you try physically bouncing each corner of your car to see if there's a noticeable difference. If you have the F55....although it's a reliable system that would open the door for electrical or sensor problems in addition to the damper itself. I doubt your tunnel plate would be defective and flexing to the one side only. Let us know what the dealershp finds. Good luck.

I have an 05 Z51. Yes I did check the tires with a guage and I tried to make the rear end move by hand (NO GO) so I dont know what to think. Hell maybe my seat is broken, I will let the dealer figure it out. I guess thats what the warranty is for. Thanks a bunch for your advice though.


Wayne O,
Also I have noticed your avatar, were you in the CAV. I was in the Air Cav for a long time.

Leaf springs could be a factor here also.
