Hi all,
I have a 2006 Lexus gs300 and my front suspension is so low that my front bumper keeps rubbing on parking blocks, it keeps ripping my bumper off. I changed all 4 struts and the height stayed the same. (Front low and rear high). Can anybody tell me what is the problem or solution in rising front suspension to normal?

 

Struts will not raise nor lower a vehicle, it is the springs. Maybe your car has the wrong size tires put on? You can look at the vin tag sticker for the tire size and see if yours matches.

 

It’s has right size tires on it. I changed the whole complete strut with spring assembly. I’m trying to figure out why my front driver and passenger side so low that the tires are almost tucked in the fender well and my rear has about 2”-3” gap from fender well. Do you think my ball joints and control arm need changing? My front suspension does make clunking noise too.

 

if your front suspension is making noise, obviously there are worn parts. it would be good to do a thorough inspection of all suspension components.

 

Ok. I try to change whatever suspension parts are worn. And see what happens. Thanks guys!

 

Even if all your bushings are damage, the ride height will not change. The only thing that dictates the height is the coil springs. If for some odd and rare reason the spring breaks or has been modded with aftermarket springs, then the car will sit lower. Also see if theres RCA blocks under the lower ball joints. This used to be a popular mod, and it basically spaces out the ball joint to allow the suspension to drop up to an inch

 

Ok I will check on that too. Thanks

 

I am having Same issue with my 2006 GS 300. Company sent me a new set of struts assembly. Did you figure out the issue? Thx

 

Are you using the oem springs?

 

Im actually getting sagging in the rear springs, I still havent inspected the rear springs for cracks/breaks/collapse in the coil. I wonder if the technical manual shows the factory height of the spring. There are rubber pads under the springs aswell those could be worn and that will lower the ride height but only by maybe 1/3" or 10mm

 

ordered them from ebay. They sent me two sets and still to low. Took to Mavus they said no issues with any suspension parts.

 

You need to use the OEM Lexus springs, you can order them on BellLexusNorthScotsdale, eBay or go to the junkyard.

 

MyLparts.com carries them too.

 

My 07 gs350 has quite a bit of negative camber. I am not sure if it is supposed to be that way, as there is not that many of these in my area that I have seen to compare it to. The front end is low, but I do not have issues entering or exiting my driveway. I have only had the car for a month, and have spent most of my time chasing electrical issues.
