Hey guys, I just moved to a new place where I park my car on a narrow Philly side street, half the car up on the sidewalk, The other half on the ground. The curb itself is a pretty standard height curb, if a little smaller than “normal.”
I am wondering how bad this is for my suspension, strut mounts, bushings, and tires on a day-in, day-out basis. Granted, my car is on stock suspension and I already have the parts to upgrade (strut mounts springs and dampers). So even if it is bad for the stock suspension, i don’t really care all that much. But I guess I’m concerned about my alignment and my tires, as I just put some nice stuff (RSE-10+AS4) on and I’d hate to get less life out of the AS4’s than I could’ve had I been parking on a flat surface.
just looking for any input from knowledgeable suspension guys, or people who have lived in similar conditions with their cars. Did you have to get an alignment more often? Did your tires wear out quicker?
Any and all input, feedback, or discussion is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!
