1, Measure the rear chassis height:Introduction:I have some thoughts about lowering the car at the rear end. Not very much, something like 10 to 15 mm. I have to draw some plans for this, a spring lowering kit with springs, coil over springs or maybe some air springs if it's available. First I must investigate what's installed today I also noticed that the car is a little bit lower on one side, at right rear. Rear spring height right side:![]() Before looking at the springs I check the height of the car at rear. I measure from the center of the hub to the edge of the fender at top. Earlier I have measured the front left and right height, in that case it was exactly the same. ![]() I get the distance to 382 mm from hub center to top fender edge at the right side. ![]() The height of the left side is 393 mm, a difference of 11 mm. Not much difference and it can change dependent of how the car was parked. A more carefully measurement gave 8 mm. ![]() These measurements are according to the right arrow then it doesn't matter what size of the tires I have. From center axis to fender: left side 393 mm, right side 382 mm. This is a 19x9.5" wheel with a 275/30 19" tire, the problem was the same with the standard size wheel/tire I had earlier. Inspection tool:The area around the springs is very narrow and difficult to see. I need some tools for this. ![]() My girlfriend has this instrument, it's an endoscope. The camera is the cylinder at right which you can move into narrow spaces. It connect to the smart phone wireless through WIFI. ![]() The camera at the end, it has a diameter of 6 mm. At the top of it's a LED light, the brightness of it can be controlled on the other end of the cable. A very handy tool.
