Default Height measurement

Hi All,

Is there any a for height measurements for a 99 S70?
I know that the left rear is almost 1 inch higher then the left,
measuring @ the center of the wheel from the ground to fender well.
My thinking is that the whole car sits low to start with and if it measures
different in the rear maybe all measurement are off.
And just an extra inch of height would be good for the knees!

Thanks Skip

Do you have the owner's manual? if so, check it- there's a very detailed specifications guide in the back that actually gives you height specs. and yes, your 7- 10 year old car probably has gotten a bit shorter with time... springs and struts do wear down. When you measure height, make sure you have the car on a perfectly level and flat surface, too.

If you can get hold of one the original sales brochure from the dealers may give you things like ground clearance and arrival and departure angles. Try ebay there could be one on there.
