how can I tell if my front end has been lowered ?

 

hOW MUCH SPACE IS BETWEEN THE TIRES AND THE FENDER

 

From the top of the tire to the bottom of fender lip one inch.
If it is lowered does that mean spring was cut down ?

 

That's the usual method but you can install aftermarket springs that are shorter or softer(not a good thing to do), possibly a thinner pad where the spring seats.

 

Thank you for the reply, would you say one inch clearance indicates it's been lowered ?

 

Would also depend on the size of the tire, tire make and the car model. I have both the N/A and SRT6. Both have larger dia tires on OEM rims 235/40/18 fronts and 275/35/19 rears.

On the 05 Limited: 1.25" front 1.50" rear General G-Max
On the SRT6: 1" front 1.50" rear Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position

 

A picture might help.

 

Tires : 225/40/18 stock rim
Hope this helps

 

Looks normal to me. I have 1.5 inches (two fingers) clearance.

 

I forget exactly what mine looked like stock as I have larger tires on wider wheels and spacers but from what I recall, it appears near stock.

 

Good, the camber is so far out the wheel is leaning. I thought spring might have been cut. We inspected and nothing's broke. Just trying to narrow it down and find the cheapest fix.

 

You could go the cheapest route by starting with the adjustment bolts. If that doesn't get you close, then you've probobly got some tie rod problems. On a 100k car it'd be best to replace the drag link which is the entire tire rod assembly.

Febi bolts are the same as OEM M/B bolts @ 1/2 price... 4 kits per car:

Thanks Syfi, that gives me a direction to go .

 

Syfi,

I take it that your SRT-6 is not lowered? I'm trying to figure out if mine has been lowered or not as well, and I am running the same size tires in the back, not sure if my fronts are 235/35 or 235/40...will have to check and measure.

 

Ya, neither one is lowered. I went the comfort route with the larger tires which have taller sidewalls. N/A has KYBs @ OEM height and SRT has Konis @ OEM height. Both on stock rims.
