    Question Standard suspension height for VZ ?

    Just wondering what the height measurements are for a standard suspension VZ sedan?
    Is there a spec somewhere for what it should be new?
    Curious because my front strut mounts look like they've sagged - in the engine bay there's a gap between the top of the tower and the plate. I want to know how much it's affecting the height.

    Can anyone post their wheel-centre-to-guard vertical distance? Front and rear.

    edit: I suppose it wouldn't be much different to the VY or earlier. Is there a link to this somewhere?

    Thanks for that. Is there any sounds that the bearing will make if it's totally stuffed?
    I think mine's just a sagged rubber mount.

    If its sagging then ur springs have had it!
    Thats what is holding the car up not the shocks, taking out the springs & the shocks will be completely compressed and riding on the bump stops.
