Suspension woes?

[Lunchmoney]

After taking the photos to document my rust removal https://www.torquecars.com/forums/threads/rust-worx.39104/ I noticed something alarming.

My suspension appears to be on the way out....

Front passenger side, arch is 26 inches from the ground;


Front driver's side 24.5 inches to the ground;

Rear driver's side, 26 inches to the ground;


And the most alarming one, rear passenger side, 24.5 inches to the ground;

I've lined up the replacement/upgrade, but I wasnt planning on doing it until next year.

The Aussie company makes good gear as they were involved in Rallies for many years at the top level over here.

Looks like a couple of rust bubbles that need attention

You sure you've not got a broken spring? That's quite a drop and would be more severe than worn bushings or old fatigued springs IMO.

That's my fear hence new springs and shocks.
