Hi guys,

Does anyone else notice this?

When pulling in off the road into my carpark (residential parking at ground floor level under apartments) i go up pavement which is a very gentle slope....

So when i drive up it, kind of sideways as i'm turning left off the road, when the NSR wheel is up on the pavement i can hear the car flexing... This is because the door cards and windows seem to make a noise.

Is this normal? I thought the chassis would be pretty damn rigid and not allow for any flex.

Cars are supposed to flex or there'd be something wrong! Look at what happens when you jack-up a car at one wheel. I'd not worry about it.
 
cheers mate, i understand that, however when doing something like that, i thought the suspension was taking up the flex, not the chassis/body??
