Howdy,
I've noticed that my car, a 2007 Impreza Sport Wagon (100k km), sags a lot in the back when loaded?
With 1-2 passengers, it's no problem. But if I load it up for a weekend away with four people + luggage, the rear sags waaaayyyyy down. To the point where the rear wheel is slightly tucked under the fender (2-3 inches). When I use my Gfs MDX, the sag isn't noticeable.
My friends aren't obese, typically 2 guys, 2 girls, a few bags, etc. Must equal around 350 pounds in the backseat and trunk, 800 pounds total in the car.
Is this typical for these cars? I recently had my suspension checked, no leaks or issues were noted, everything is tight.
I ask, because I'm going to Maine (350 miles) in two weeks with a camping trailer (100 pounds tongue weight) and was asked by some friends if they can get a lift. I said no, but now I'm wondering if there's any danger. I'm not willing to upgrade my springs/suspension for them, they could walk for all I care
With the luggage, people, and trailer, I'd be around 1400 pounds.
Thanks in advance!
