My somewhat new Estilo (4000+km in 3.5 months) leans towards the drivers side - if you look at it from behind, there's just a slight inclination. In other words, the space between the top of the wheel and the wheel well is slightly larger (by 1 inch or so) in the rear left wheel than the right wheel.

It sort of makes sense because 99% of the time I drive alone, so there is more weight towards the right.

I just want to double check here whether this is normal or not. (I have noticed it to a lesser extent in my 5 year old Accent as well - though that car is primarily driven with 2 or 3 people inside.)
