Is it bad for your car to leave it parked when it is leaning to the side?

Question

I mean, is it bad for the shocks, tires, axle, etc. if you park it on a slope where it leans about 20 or 30 degrees onto the passenger side?

Answer 1

It is not bad if you park on a hill, just remeber to put on the emergency brake or else it will really damage your brakes

Answer 2

Yes and no.  Damage to the suspension, tires, etc.... no.  However, if you have filled your tank, parking on a 30 degree angle could cause you to have a fuel leak at the fill cap.  (you would smell gas).... not good.

Biggest danger is just getting in and out of a car on a 30 degree angle, as the doors require more force to shut, or they slam shut,,,depending on the side of the car you are on.

Answer 3

If you parked in the same place each and every day then eventually you could get the shocks and spring that side to be a little low, try and vary it if you can, come in the other direction.

Answer 4

No..................

Answer 5

>>  20 or 30 degrees onto the passenger side?

Your car handles more lateral pressure when it turns the corner.

good Luck...
