W124 Ride Height question...
How high does the front of your W124 sit? I had the front struts done in my car, and now the bottom of the fender is about 7 inches to the top of the tire......
Anyone know/think that this is too tall?

WAY too high Justin. Sounds like they put too many springs in there.

They didnt touch the springs. My indy only replaced the front struts....
One of my buddies said I should have it aligned, and that would fix it. I am still scratching my had as to how it rides that high.

Pete, if you wouldn't mind, can you measure the height between the top of your tire and the bottom of your fender?
My mom and dad are "in dispute" with me that the car is supposed to have a 7 inch gap above the tire. I dont think that its supposed to have a gap like that, but they assure me that it is supposed to be like that.

There are seven inches between the top of the tire and the lip of the fender?

I dont know, its just frustrating with my car looking like this.
I argued with my parents over this subject on the phone earlier... Conversation went Mom "Do you want to have a low rider or something?" Me "No" Mom "Well, its not a racecar." Me "I know, but its not an SUV either." I dont know... SirNik84 saw it earlier, and he says it looks funny. It looks funny to me. It looks normal to my mom and dad though. So we will see I guess.

It may settle down some with use.
Also could be wrong strut? Tom W
