Re: Correct front spring height

Anthony, there is a procedure in your AIM concerning "ride height". Follow the procedure (diiferential measurement of 2 points on the front suspension) to determine the cause. You may have a front right spring that has become weak........

If you look through old threads you will see that this is a very common occurrence.
They weren't perfect from the factory.

Anthony,

I don’t know where the battery is located in a ‘75, but a battery, and an AC compressor unit, and other one-sided, heavy things can result in different weights on each front side, and result in different heights side to side. Also, what is the side-to-side +/- spec for height in the ‘75 AIM? For ‘66 it’s 0.25”.

Re: Correct front spring height

Thanks pat .. I was going over the car getting ready for spring driving and never notice it until now .. I know they weren’t perfect but I feel 28 and 5/8 of an inch is to high .. Shouldn’t the front be a little bit lower than the rear or at least level

As Stephen advised, AIM has specs and tolerances for ride height. You might check it out.

A concept that should be remembered and applied to all aspects of "judging".
