02 Navi, can you adjust the suspension, my is sitting too high????

[ejjones55]

Here's the situation...I bought an 02 Navi and it had 22" rims on it. I didn't care for them. So, I took them off and put the stock 17" back on.

Now, I look at it just parked and it looks like it sits too high up, even when the air bags on suspension are fully deflated. It also appears that the front end is sitting higher then the rear.

even when i am driving her, it feels like I am sitting way too high and that it is higher in front then rear.

Is it possible that the previous owner did something to raise it up to fit wheels? If so, how do I get it back to normal???

can something be adjusted???

Please help...

i would imagine, 22 s would require a lift......some sort of spacer perhaps ? maybe check out a standard 02 03 then yours and see if something s been added..

imo , ride quality goes to heck on anything bigger than 18 s... drove an 07 on 20 s vs 18 s , big differance...

I took her to the dealer and they adjusted/calibrated the ride height and she is now perfect!!!! 90 dollars and of course the dealer found about 800 bucks worth of other repairs needed!!!!

Odds are the last owner set the height sensors to MAX to clear those 22s. Lowering the sensors doesn't take very long, and $90 is a decent price at a mechanic. Now that the bags are lowered, there might be a problem with cracks in the springs which can cause leaks (when sitting overnight). Bags wear out in specific locations at specific ride heights, if that makes sense.

Also check your front tires for abnormal wear. Ride height can also change your front end alignment.

Good luck, sorry for being a downer, but I'm just warning you of any potential problems.
