My driveway is steep, as in "the rear sensors think the street is an impending collision every time I back out" steep. I'm used to it, I just have to find the angle that works. Two angles actually, the driveway is a few degrees from being perpendicular to the street and there's a slight bend in the road that starts right there so one angle from the north and another from the south. Still, I've always found d a way to get up the hill. My 86 944 had to be backed in and my 2014 Passat needed a very sharp angle but I've always found something that worked.
I knew lowering the Mustang was never going to be an option but today I saw something I didn't expect. When I come home it's usually from the north and I've got that figured out pretty well, but I can't make it up the driveway from the south without scraping, Searching under the car didn't help, there are no scrape marks, so when it happened today I stopped, put on the parking brake and got out to look under the car. Plenty of clearance on the driver's side, more than I expected. I thought the right front was the culprit but there was still room to spare. The right rear was another story, it wasn't scraping, far from it, the tire was almost 2 inches off the ground.
I'm not sure what to do with this. Softer springs? New address? I'm open to suggestions.
