Ride height measurements a concern? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Jonah on  Tue Jul 20 09:22 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Front driver side: 14"
Front pass. side: 14.5"
Rear driver side: 15"
Rear pass. side: 15.5"

This is noticeable from front and rear vantage points. Is this within normal range of ride height variation? Sagging springs the cause? Or something else? Thanks for more advice!

    Don't use the measurements from the wheel arch/Well. Use the running boards, at the jacking points. The wheel wells are not equal from front to back.

    I don't know where your measurements were taken, seems high. Being one half inch off from side to side is Tolerable. That is probably due to bushing wear, not sagging springs.

      The measurements are all from center of wheel to exterior of wheel arch directly above.

    It's just a little bit out. The spec is 1/4 inch variation, but what would you expect from a 15 yr old car? A set of springs would fix it, or an equal size person in the passenger seat.:)
