Let me start by saying I am pretty new to cars in general. The problem I'm having with my 240 might have resulted from a major oversight on my end, but I'm not sure. Still learning every day.

I was recently away from home for about 3 weeks. My rear drivers side tire had been losing air fairly quickly and I was worried about leaving it for three weeks to potentially deflate fully and mess up the rim. So I took it off and placed that area of the car on a block.

I just returned home to find the suspension completely extended. I will attach a picture.

Was it a bad idea to leave the car blocked for so long, or did something break? I just don't know and could really use some advice on what to do next. Thanks.

 

First, put the tire back on, lower the car and see what it looks like. What you did should not have caused any damage.

 

Thank you. I did just that and everything seems fine. Not sure what I was worried about. Now to figure out how to delete this thread..
