This tilting issue is mainly observed in Thar RWD and a few 4X4.

I can't be bothered to take proper measurements but a pic of my RWD Thar taken at PDI seems to show a slight tilt to the right (there was none because I did a very thorough PDI). A recent pic taken after less than 3 months and almost 4k km on the odometer looks normal.

Dear Thoma

Just my 2 cents... Measure from the Rim bottom lip (or top lip) where the tyre meets the rim, that was you can rule out any differential pressure in tyre(s) and eliminate doubts.

My ex-place of work used to retrofit all known trucks/FJ/Jeeps in Dubai for lift kits. The workshop job card had to mention all 4 corners rim to fender bottom measured Before & After (with some photo proof too) for those 'picky' 2" is not 2" lift customers.

When I'm this picky (), it came naturally to my mind to consider the tire pressure too, but I was considering the wheel center and since it had a sort of hub cap and since the wheel is a bit inset from the wheel arch cladding, I left it.

Moreover, the Thar comes with tire pressure monitoring system and since it showed equal values at the right and left, I was convinced that the tire can't be the culprit.

Anyway, I'll try your suggestion once.

I recently took delivery of My RWD Thar.

I have read about this issue in tbhp before and I didn’t take it seriously.

A few days ago my dad casually told me that he feels that the Thar is leaning towards the right side a bit. Only then I checked my car. It does lean a bit towards the right.

The tilt is not seen nor mentioned in the Team Bhp’s Official Review nor in any other automotive review.

It is obviously a development after use which means that there is a weakening of some component of the suspension, most likely a shock not returning to its original position.

This is a problem that affects some vehicles after a period of use although in the case of the Thar it is a bit too soon and more pronounced.

Probably why they are replacing the suspension. And the drawing indicating 1.3 cm difference in the chassis is clearly a hoax.

The tilt is directly from the factory.
There is a deviation in the suspension mount on the chassis

While checking in the sc for the root cause along with the tech liner from Mahindra we had found that there is a deviation in the suspension mount by 10 mm

But Mahindra design tolerance is +/- 20 mm in the overall ride height from the left to right

So they considered + tolerance on the left and negative tolerance on the right and closed the case stating its within the design tolerance and its normal.

Yor are completely correct.

As an initial solution they have changed the helical springs and shock absorbers in the rear but the problem was not rectified. So they have fitted the original parts back.

The information could really help out others like me who are considering the vehicle.

People are facing this issue both in RWD and 4x4
But hope the vehicles are from some particular batch
