Default My new Mustang GT - and question

I pulled the trigger on a 2017 Mustang GT - Oxford White with faded racing stripe. I opted not to go for a Premium but did find one with GT Performance Package. It came with Recaro Sport Cloth Racing seats ($1,595 option) that I wouldn't have chosen had I ordered the car, but I have to say they're comfortable and snug and a step above the GT cloth seats.


Question: I noted and measured the car leaning towards the drivers side ~ about 1/4" measured in the wheel wells. Tire pressures are the same all around. Is this common for GTs? I can only surmise the springs are uneven. It can't be me because I am only about 150 lbs! The last picture kind of shows the lean, although its more evident in person.

As far as I know, that's not normal. Take it back to the dealership.

Update: I took the GT to the dealer yesterday...had it up on the lift and we examined it closely with a technician...no problems with suspension or springs. We measured the lean in the shop - came out to within 1/8" of an inch on level ground.


While at the dealer I managed to measure some other Mustangs in the lot, new and used - they all had a lean more or less! I don't feel so bad as mine is very minimal.

There's more weight on the drivers side, so maybe this actually makes sense.
