oli, did you buy it new? Was there any suspension work done by you if you purchased new? Are the tires OEM SIZE? IF someone else replies these values are not within OEM values I would suggest you check out if suspension work was done OR something failed (especially if BOTH sides are about the same as you posted, since you never mentioned this). When you check both sides, make sure the car is on a LEVEL surface! Good luck!

hello , thanks for your feedback .

my car is stock , and had only 80.000 km. Wheels and tyres are standard size .After changing the upper arm of suspension ( i change it because it has a slack ) , now when i turn fully the steering wheel the wheels touch the body.

correctly measure of height from tyres to fender, makes that the front is lower that the rear about 4 cm so it makes 1,5 inch .

i suppose that the car has made a jump and front arm has been damage .

i will check the front and rear height , and shock absorber condition , lenght of spring and if some part are bend.

can some one makes a measure from the ground to the jack point at front and rear on a standard car with original suspension?

regards

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for reporting back. IF it is concerning enough to you to fix, a few members are selling their replaced OEM springs. Check out the for sale forum, and also someone might reply here if they have a set for sale/trade (if interested). Good luck!
