Ride height problems

[Jay07]

Whilst I was cleaning my car Yesterday I noticed that the ride height on the rear wheels is different by about 1cm and out by 1.5cm at the front.

I have never noticed this before and there is not any noticable difference in the handling.

Any thoughts on problems I may be having would be appreciated.

I'm not of the belief that ride height alone indicates a problem. If you want to be sure, you'll need to have the corner weights and alignment checked. Also all of the bushings. If those are still OK, then you're OK. BTW, how are you measuring ride height -- from the fender tops? If you are then also factor in any potential movement or misalignment of the body panels.

Without going through that whole excercise, I'd say that if you haven't noticed any handling deficencies so far, then it isn't a major problem and can wait until your next planned alignment check.

Thanks for that. I hadnt planned for an alignmet check, so I guess i wll book one in with my next service.
