What else for front ride height???

[bergxu]

Hey all,

Just got done changing the front springs on my '96 Turbo R SWB to [what I thought would] cure a low front ride height and excessive negative camber on the front wheels. Well, new springs in, along with new shock bushes (as a matter of course) and while the ride height has improved somewhat, it's still not where it ought to be. Granted, I think the rear self-leveling is jacking itself up too high, so that might be a contributor, but is there anything else up front that will cause such severe neg camber and lower height??

Have you put in the correct height adjusting shims.For the camber problem have you checked all the bushes for the castor and camber as these may have failed.

Thanks for the note. I went ahead and ordered all new upper and lower bushes. I have new compliance mounts as well, just haven't got them in the car yet...

Looks like I have next week's project!

It will be a good project,you will need to get all the geometry set when all the bushes have been changed.
good luck.just send message if any advice needed.
