On the axel (front or rear wheel pair) in question one wheel will push down on the ground harder than the other. This will also change things with regards to the other axel but how much depends on a lot of other things. Static spring rate will go up on one wheel and down on the other. Net 0 On a car that has progressive springs this might result in an added V to the rate curve to calulate.
