Front End Too High

Webfoot · May 2nd, 2003, 11:15 PM

or is it just me? After replacing the all the struts, lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends and both drive axles, the front appears to sit an inch or so higher than the rear. Is there something I can adjust or mod to make it level (or lower than the rear)? or is this the normal stock look?

What brand struts did you use? I just put a pair of Gabriel Regal Ride struts in the front of my Dad's J30 Maxima, and it too sits about an inch higher now, maybe more. In fact, I had to readjust his headlamps after that! Maybe the lower spring perch on aftermarket struts isn't welded in the same place as the originals.

Free shipping on orders over $50. I see the price went up to 63.00 each. WOW!! I swear they were like $41 ea 4 months ago.

I must have been at the right place at the right time.

I noticed the tires are - and dont laugh the car was free- brand new 155/80r13's in the front and old weather checked 1/4 tread that only say 165/13 in the rear. That counts for some of the difference.
