rear suspension/ride height questions....
Posted by mdj (more from mdj) on Fri, 3 Oct 2008 23:33:41

I've got another round of the pogo stick ride in the back of my '99 9-5 sedan. It has the '01 aero springs w/bilstein shocks.

Does anyone know what the ride height measurement is supposed to be and what points it is measured from? I put these on about 40k miles ago. I would think about putting wagon springs in instead, but it seeems like even more wagon owners have problems. I'm not sure if that's just because they tend to get more loaded.

I've got to decide what course to go, but hate to put another suspension in if I'm going to face this again. I'd rather go with a heavier spring if possible.
