Compared to the front, The rear end rides low . Havn't been able to find a name on the shocks but they're orange in color. Does orange designate a brand, or can they be any brand and orange? The push the rear of the car test seems to pass the shocks as ok. Is there anything beside springs that can be the cause? For a daily driver, what size springs should I get and where's a good place and price? I know this is a bad picture, and I'll get better one's tomorrow of springs and shocks. Initial opinions? Thanks. Bill

I've kinda thought that was another possibility but I've read a lot of posts on rear springs giving out, and not much on front. Does the strut have to come out to make that adjustment?
I just looked at the owners manual and it shows top of car to ground and clearance under the pan measurements. I'm going to take a few tomorrow and see how they match the manual. Thanks! |
