What is the stock W124 ride height?
I've been reading post after post regarding w124 ride heights for sedans and wagons and it seems that somewhere between 13.5" to 16" is where most who have responded fall. unfortunately no one has defined what the actual stock ride height is. Is it the same front to rear? Sedans vs Wagons?
Can anyone shed some more light on this questions? Measuring from wheel hub center to fender lip.
I ask because after replacing my front struts and rear multi-links my wagon seems to ride a bit higher than before. Technically changing the struts should not have affected ride height at all. I replaced the Original MB struts with Sachs (OEM) the struts were the same length collapsed and extended. The multi-links in the rear have more of an effect on ride height so I can see the change there, but I did tighten everything while under load per the FSM.
My heights are 15.25" Front, and 16" rear. The car was aligned by an indy shop and nothing odd was noticed. I just know that it now sits from .5 to 1 inch higher than before. What gives, do these numbers look normal? What are other measuring?
