Cheers. The Merc next to it is OK too.
Can you see the lean? Is it just me?
Ah, I see one can click on the wee image and get a bigger one to display. Didn't realise straight away.

I can see a lean, though its a bit difficult to see how much of it is car park slope.

None of it. It's about as level as level can be.

Probably caused by the years of a driver on one side and the camber of the road. Probably developed some kind of mechanical memory. I bet on a road with camber and a FB in the drivers seat its probably level.

Ok, if you take the rear wheel off you can see the shock absorber and the airbag sufficiently well to measure/compare. Both are bolted to surfaces and there is no adjustment other than the amount of pressure fed to them. If you can be arsed to take off both rear wheels and compare/measure them you must be able to see/find where the difference is. If you can't find it, then the problem is probably elsewhere. Actually removing them is quite difficult since they have to be detached at the top from inside the car. Lots of bits to come out. Replacing them yourself is not impossible, but it is pretty tricky. Both because of the need to compress them and the need for [at least an improvised] special tool to release the top nut. Everything I can find suggests that *if* the problem is the rear suspension, then the problem should be pretty obvious and detectable with a tape measure though the cause may be a little more difficult to find. If the suspension does drop then apparently the car does not go out of control or lock the wheel. Nothing hits anything. However apparently further damage can be caused to the pump, relay and parts. Obviously your call.

Like your little Viking Z, are we to take it that the Volvo is now official?

Yeah, it does lean Al. 😕
I'd have to do something about that.

"Too farty" would work...😂
Edit- in case that's not scanning, it was just that a Barbadian pal in years gone by came out with us one night and caused hilarity when he told us he had a new car, which when he was asked what it was, replied that it was a Volvo too farty...
