I noticed the other day that my car was not sitting straight (height). So I went out and took some measurements.

From the tire to the wheel well (height):
Front driver: 3.5"
Rear driver: 3.25"
Rear pass: 4"
Front pass: 3"

From the tire side to the wheel well (length, in and out):
Front driver: out 0.25"
Rear driver: in 1.25"
Rear pass: in 0.75"
Front pass: in 0.5"

I don't know if this is a suspension, frame, or alignment issue (or all 3).



Just looked at the fsm and it said from the ground to the wheel well should be 28"
The fronts are 27.5", the rear driver 28", the rear pass 28.75"

 

Some shops do free alignment and suspension checks

 

You can't measure the suspension by comparing it to the body, fender, qtr panels etc. Measurements are made relative to the sub frame the suspension is attached to.

Have the car aligned, post the before and after specs.

 

In the FSM, there is a basic check of suspension height. If you have lowered your car, then this is not valid any more.
