Kurb clearance

[cerealuk]

Will a non lowered zed clear a standard sized kurb?

 

where I park at work its a pain trying to avoid having to drive up/down the kurb not sure whether to risk it lol

[cookiemonster]

Get the tape measure out mate i have a lip on mine and theres no chance of that getting over. I should think standard you would be ok depending on how high the curb is

curb*

 

mine is standard and on most curbs the nose clears quite easily.

 

Saying that, I would not make a habbit of testing this theory!

don't risk it - sometimes you'll get on ok but the drop off might be deeper or the suspension squash will cause the car top bottom out on the KERB

I was convinced that it was Kerb as well ( with possibly Curb being American !? )

without lip it wont clear IMO

[introspect]

Don't think there is such a thing as a "standard" kerb. If it looks a bit big then I wouldn't want to risk it personally.

I've parked at my local Tesco once or twice nose in to a kerb.

 

If I'd gone any further forward, I would have scraped that lower plastic shroud under the front lip.

 

And that was on a fairly small to normal size kerb, don't risk it chaps.

It's been in The Good Book for ages

Correct (well nearly) ... kerbs have a water line at 100 mm below the top, but the blacktop is often finished below the water line to get a gradient to aid the flow of surface run-off

Mine clears most 'average' curbs fine
