Rear wheel lifts when turning at end of driveway

titan7 · 04-06-2018, 11:19 AM

So noticed yesterday that when pulling into or out of my driveway at a 45 degree angle the drivers side rear wheel comes off the ground several inches while spinning, lol! I knew the suspension was tight, never did this on my wife's m235 convertible. My front wheel does the same thing on my 911. Always fun!

Mine does too and when I'm pulling in the drive way and give it some throttle I think the diff freaks out and spins the tires.

Stiffer anti sway bars and springs do this on performance cars - perfectly normal. Back in 2005 I had a track setup Subaru STI and on some shopping center entrances I would have two wheels lifted - the diffs would make all kinds of clunking sounds.
