That's 3/8" .
I doubt if I would even notice that over the width of the car.

Re: c5 leanining to one side
Unless something is bent it can't theoretically be lower on one side as its self levelling - assuming its hydropnumatic.

Re: c5 leanining to one side
it just looks lower on the passenger side i put a level on her roof rails and she is showing off level as well nothing seems bent and she does seem to handle fine i first noticed it at the shop the other day parked up beside another c5 with no noticeable difference in ground level what i'm asking is could an airlock or something similar cause a drop in pressure on one side of the car

Re: c5 leanining to one side
The spheres are fed from a common supply so the pressure in each side is always equal. Are you sure the surface you are parking on is dead flat - both ends? You don't have odd size tyres do you?

Re: c5 leanining to one side
Where you were parked, on "fairly level ground" and got the spirit level showing it off level, did you turn the car around then try it again. I would class 10mm of difference in the width of a car as "fairly level" And where are you measuring each wheelarch from? The centre of the wheel is what Austin garages used for checking their hydragas from. I think you are making mountains from molehills personally. I would not be bothered about it.
