Thanks Mike, brilliant stuff once again !.
While we are on the subject of suspension / ride height etc.
When the ZS EV was first launched, a lot of people ( including myself ) though the car looked a little “Under Wheeled”.
Smallish sized wheel and tyre combo that looked a little odd due to the large space left in the wheel arches.
Made the wheels look “ A little Lost”.
Well, today I was out cleaning my car ( again ) and stopped for a cup of tea.
As I sat their, I am convinced that the car has “Settled” down some what now after almost 7 months of ownership.
No, I am not just imagining it folks, it is defiantly a little more “Squat” than it was back in Jan of this year.
This may sound a bit crazy to some people, but I have witnessed this before on my previous VW Golf GTE.
When new a lot of folks said the rear of the car sat to high and looked like it needing lowering at the rear.
Well, I had that car from three months, to over four years old, and without any fear of contradiction, it did become lower all on its own.
This is fact, because I made a point of measuring from the centre of the road wheel, to the inside of the wheel arch.
In less than two years, it dropped by give or take, one inch in ride height.
I guess this is not surprising considering the weight if the HV pack and all the other components constantly bearing down on the suspension parts day in day out !.
It’s not me becoming more use to the side profile of the car now, it has defiantly lowered slightly from when it was new.
Strange, but I have walked pass it a thousand times, but today, it hit me like a sledge hammer !.
Once you spotted it, somehow your eyes are drawn towards it all the time now.
Maybe it lowered itself over night. LOL.
Weird hey !.
