i looked at my car the other day and the back end looked "lifted" or the front looked "slamed". I know they just changed one of my rear shocks before I got the car (and no i don't remember looking at the height of the front and back before they changed it.) would that have affected anything? is there a break in period for the new shock? or a spring adjustment maybe? i know, i know[sm=ttiwwp.gif]... but it is dark outside right now so i don't think a pic would be any good. just wanted to get this up here now because it is bothering me.

 

ok i took some pics sorry they are so dark.

the front wheel:




And the back wheel:

 

The rear does look lower! it looks like the other guy that had his car lowered on another post and his rear was higher than the front.

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

 

Oh my, that is quite a difference. Looks like the *** is way up in the air. Front looks normal though. I dont' pay a whole lot of attention to the x-type ride height around here, but surely I would have noticed if that was the norm. I'd compress the spring somehow, def not cut them. Hey, it's easier to lower it than it is to raise it up.

These the best pics you got of the new car vegas?

 

ask 2-3 friends to sit in the rear and see if the normal travel in the rear brings it down to regular (as you know it) clearance. Springs may be just waiting for more weight to come down. Could be normal...

 

yeah the best pics for now. If the rain stops this weekend i will take more and put them up. so you think a spring??

 

Hard to say...what year is your new baby? Perhaps the tech guys can check their 'crystal ball computer' to see what the ground clearance is supposed to be.

Here is what I found in the vehicle spec pages for the x's clickee 4 LARGE VERSION

 

it's an 05. I did just take some pics of the inside... in the dark.

 

Maybe a stupid question..But are they the same size tires ?..I can't really tell from the pictures..

 

Never mind..I realized it was a stupid question...because with the AWD, different sized tires would tear up your TC..DUH!

 

well i put 3 buddys in teh back seat and drove around for a few minutes. Their total weight was about 600 lbs. When I parked and we all got out the back seemed to drop to the correct height! LOL I guess the springs just needed a push! Thanks for the idea and the help. I will put pictures up tonight.

 

that is so funny! I would never have thought of that. I'm glad it is fixed!

 

Amazed[sm=insomnia.gif]..Ole H2O was right on the money
