Looks like the same problem I had on my AUTOart 206 WRC, the part that allows the wheel to turn, which on the real car would be the shock absorber, had gone off its mounting point. I simply moved it back in it, by moving it back and forth.

Biante Ford BA Falcon XR8
Just received the model mentioned above (in phantom), and noticed the passenger side front wheel seems to drop down becasue of the full detail independent suspension. This is however not the case for the driver side (becasue of the steering mechanism I'd imagine), so my question is, is this normal? The car sits fine on flat surface, but this is really bugging me... :WTF

I have 4 of the XR8's in different colours.. and it shouldnt be like this when on its base!. If it doesnt fix it self by you compressing the suspension up and down id ask to see if you can exchange it!.
None of my XR8's have this problem so first time Ive seen this on one!.
Hope you can get this sorted out! :cheers :cheers

Attempted to take the car apart but it doesn't buldge (probably a good thing since the hood latch may be gone once I take it apart).
Tried to push the suspension down and something snapped. Fortunately, the model still sits fine on flat surface, I guess I'll just leave it alone.
It'll really bug me but oh well...
:ranting

Oh man that doesnt sound good :|... Can you possibly email the seller and see if theyll pay to send it back seeing as they sent you a faulty car?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
I have the same problem with my phantom xr8, its some kind of fault, if you press it down it tends to click back in just need to be careful. I didnt check mine until long after I bought it. It looked fine on the base.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll just leave it alone. I bought it on sale so this slight problem is not really as bad as say decals peeling. Besides, since the model looks normal sitting on flat surface, I'm ok with that. I'm guessing the stopper on the spring is missing or gone which causes the wheel to look like that.
