Check Your Weights First

Listen to CSCobra and run a test before you try and fix something that might not be wrong to begin with. Here are my corner weights, with me in the driver's seat and a half tank of gas. Why would I want to move my battery away from the right front? The all-important cross-weight percentages are 49.9/50.1 -- moving the battery, for me, would not be productive.
Left Front (703) Right Front (667)
Left Rear (756) Right Rear (725)
Front Percentage: 48.1%
Rear Percentage: 51.9%
Left Percentage: 51.2%
Right Percentage: 48.8% |
