Scotty Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I parked along side of a 95 Deville today and she was about 1 to 2 inches higher than my 96 Deville and her entire wheel was visible. I would like to raise my rear about 1.5 inches. Has anyone done this? Would I just change the length of the height sensor links to accomplish this? You all may recall that when I went for an alignment the tech could not attach the alignment equipment as the body was too low. How can I determine if my system is working correct and that I just need to change the level? My compressor runs for about 10 seconds each time I start the car and it does raise up, if I sit in the trunk, it will again raise itself. I have new boston struts and new air tubing and I don't think its leaking down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Scotty, it does sound like your air system is working properly. I do think there is some adjustability in the position sensors to accomplish what you're talking about. Perhaps your rear springs are becoming weak?

Thanks Jason, I forgot to mention, my springs are new.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I think you can adjust the sensor on the level control system to adjust the ride height. Before doing that, I would verify the trim height of the car compared to the specs in the shop manual. You don't want to cause handling issues by having the rear too high.

Oldgamer Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Agree with Kevin. Be sure first that your ride level out of specification. If you didn't get any codes related to this I beleive your ride level is fine. How I know in your car it's possible to adjust level with Tech II tool without messing with sensor's position directly. If somebody's car's higher it doesn't mean yet something wrong with your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will measure the ride height, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
