SVT Focus ride height

Thanks for the responses!! No caster camber plates installed. Struts are DEFINITELY red.

I'm glad this doesn't appear to be stock camber. It is absolutely destroying the inside of the tires.

The driver side CV axle has a busted boot, but everything else appears normal. I'll take a pic of the spring tonight. Thanks again!

Look for part numbers on the springs. Should be able to do a search for them.

Good call on the struts, they are KYB which I'm assuming is not stock?

No visible part numbers on the springs. :(

Appear to be h&r springs, go take some pictures of the rear camber arms and springs since that where the main problem seems to be.

Standby.

[whimsicalpouch2]

just get a whole new set of shocks dampers and sprigns

[RazorbackMustang]

Here you go.





I definitely see adjustable shocks.

If they are H&R springs are they worth anything to anyone? I'd be more than willing to trade someone for a set of stock springs.

Measurements:

Front right : 25 1/4"
Front left: 24 7/8"
Right rear: 26 1/4"
Left rear: 25 3/4"

Give or take a little as I measure with a tape measure.

H&R sport springs are progressive rate springs. Those are not progressive rate springs. Plus the H&R sport springs drop an SVT ride height by about an inch, not to mention that they have part numbers on them.

Those look to me like stock springs.

I would not be surprised if part of the spring busted way up on top of the strut tower, which would explain why the driver's side front is rubbing. Bad ball joints can also cause camber problems, but that wouldn't explain why the driver's front side is rubbing so bad.

Again, if it were me I would just buy the SVT dampers and spring kit from Tousley. It's the best price you can get for a suspension setup.

Shocks should be replaced every 50k miles. There's no telling how many miles are on the shocks, but from the look of how worn the springs and dampers are, it's been a while since they were replaced.

*sigh* Sounds like that may be my plan then. I'll tear into the front suspension this weekend when I replace the axle. See if I see anything obviously out of the ordinary. Thanks a TON for the help. You guys are awesome!
