front strut wierdness

Featured Replies

my 87 turbo wagon has always had a nose low attitude since i got it <qman's seen it>

 

someone did the regular strut changeover from air

but when i changed the front brakes 2 day i noticed a very large diffrence

in front suspension droop between the left and right sides

any suggestions why one side would not be going down all the way ?

i was trying to beat the upcoming rain so i did not spend alot of time poking and prodding

My guess would be just a worn spring. I don't think the strut can get stuck in the compressed position, so it'd have to be the spring.

Could also be that someone put an XT strut on one side.. theyre a little shorter.. or someone put 85-86 struts on it, which are adjustable, and they aren't adjustaed equally.

i suspect they must be the short xt struts as it has the old skool rwd race car rake to it

the 150 or lbs of tools in a metal box help even it out a bit but the uneven suspension droop has me a tad concerned

i personally would like to get the front up a bit higher

 

no adjustment of anykind tha ti can find
