a bit of a lean.....

hi guys, me again...!!

had the elan for a few months now, and no real problems......however, yesterday parked across a slope, and noticed on returning to the car that the driver's side rear wheel arch seemed to be a couple of inches higher than the other.
checking at home on level ground, driver's side arch is indeed 28mm higher, front about 8mm.
now, before I jack her up to inspect, what am I looking for?
notes; no knocks, clunks or rattles from suspension, cornering and straight line stability fine, i.e. no symptoms.....
PO installed TTR gazmatics on front some years ago.......
could it be twisted chassis?

Hi, my S3 had a bit of lean, not 28mm. That was caused by the PO who was not able to put the body straight on the chassis and put some washers more on one side. As simple as that. Removed the washers, body was leveled on the chassis.
