Ride Height

Want-A-Vert · 01-06-2007, 12:58 PM

I was trying to get under my car for the first time today. Its so low, I could barely squeeze a floor jack under it. Can anyone tell me what the stock ride height is?

Also, I thought the shocks and springs were shot, and that might be why shes slung so low. How can I tell if the springs are shot?

Its a 69 cutlass convertible, 350

Once you find out the ride height specs you can then tell if the springs are shot, rule of thumb - if they are the original springs it may be time to just get new ones.

I have a post that is also about my own ride height problem and new springs.

Good Luck.
