Garage Ramps Under the Wilshire Towers
Westwood parks differently from the rest of the Westside. The condominium towers on the Wilshire Corridor keep their cars underground, and UCLA, the medical center and Westwood Village park theirs in multi-story structures. A Westwood Porsche starts and ends most drives on a steep ramp, in a narrow lane, turning as tightly as it can. Most of the repairs we see from here begin in the garage, not on the road.
Where a ramp meets a flat floor, the nose of a low car reaches the change of angle before the front wheels do. The front lip touches, then the plastic undertray behind it. A torn undertray or a missing fastener can let the panel hang down and drag. Fluid on the garage floor after a scrape often comes from a condenser or radiator that sits low in the nose.
Bent Rims, Pulls and Worn Shoulders
Wheel stops, pillar bases and ramp curbs sit at the height of a rim. A touch that only marks the rim can also bend it or knock the alignment out. A pull, an off-center steering wheel or a new vibration after a curb strike can mean a bent part. That matters before any suspension repair or alignment, because an alignment set around a bent arm won't hold.
Full-lock turns in garages make wide front tires skip sideways across polished concrete, most of all on a cold morning. That is a known characteristic of wide tires and steering geometry, and on its own it needs no parts. It does wear the shoulders of the front tires faster than street driving would. If the car has a front axle lift, use it on every ramp.
