Driver side dip more when crossing hump/bumps?

Is it normal or my vision playing tricks on me?

 

If it is heavier due to your weight or the shocks on that side have worn out more due to majority 1 person in the car, i do not see why its not possible ^_^

on all occasions your car was perpendicular to the hump?

 

Yep, I need to try out more, anyway will just feed back when I sent for servicing, didn't encounter this on my old car...

I was just wondering about the lateral weight distribution for the Prius C but unfortunately i dont think citing lateral weight distribution is a standard practice. I just thought that it could be because the battery pack is installed with a lateral bias but i cannot verify that now. btw if you get off your car and give each wheel a hearty push downwards and observe the damped return, you can check for yourself whether one side is overly worn compared to the other side.

 

My 2 cents

The tire pressure for all 4 tires uniform or not?

 

Actually how you come to that conclusion?

 

Front 2 and back 2 are the same, pump every week.

 

Through vision, I think I need water level to check, I just find that the dipped very significant especially down slope bump, flat road bump is alright.

The batt is at the back seats. Not that sure about lateral weight distribution, only know the ICE is on the driver side, EM on the passenger side.

 

Wanted to push downwards but the metal is damn soft! [lipsrsealed] I tried it before and don't wanna push it again...

 

Will just ask the mechanics when I sent back, 5 years unlimited warranty, ask them to change change change....

You have android applications for level (I would assume Iphone has also got few). Download one and check for yourself!

I'm quite skinny, and it's a brand new car....

 

 

Sometimes its yr imagination... Sometimes hump slightly higher one side n sometimes shocks or springs a bit more worn on one side.

 

If it feels ok when u drive...just ignore lah.
