Can anyone advise the correct front and rear ride heights for a 1982 Spirit. My car sits about an inch lower on the passenger front compared to the drivers and is also suffering from the rear height control valves sticking occasionally. The operating mechanism is free , it is the valves that stick.There appears to be no damage or broken spring coils at the front; just old age I suspect.

hi mark,

make sure that both sides of linkage are free. often the up and down is free but the horizontal linkage can be seized.

also the minimum pressure valve can give problems and will not fluid to the springs.
