    Good afternoon TW. I have what I think is probably an odd and hopefully silly question.

    Moved into a new apartment and my assigned parking is on the ramp between floors meaning I park on a slant (driver side lower than passenger side).

    Will this constant lean (sometimes for days) put excess stress on any parts over time leading to any issues?

    Thanks in advance!

    No. Many of us park on steep hills or driveways, no problems. My driveway is kind of steep, been parking there for 8 years. No problems, no lean, nothing.
