Maybe someone could take a look and see if a dimension is available to confirm factory ride height.

I have a 73 and know <br>the rear fenders are different or I'd check mine. I never checked mine when <br>I got to compare to now , who does ? Besides that when I have a load of <br>groceries in the back it seems like it is still the same without the load <br>yet I never checked it. Or perhaps measure the side moldings to ground at a <br>point near the rear. Isn't possible to have the ride height proper unloaded <br>yet to low with X amount of weight , it's not like the torsion bars aren't <br>weak after years and may drop more at some point than when new.<br><br> There has to be some spec out there in some book someone has, at least I <br>would think so.<br><br>William<br>----- Original Message ----- <br>From: "Jim Adney" <jadney@vwtype3.org><br>To: <type3@vwtype3.org><br>Sent: Friday, November 25, 2016 5:41 AM<br>Subject: Re: [T3] Alignment<br><br><br>On 24 Nov 2016 at 14:36, Daniel Nohejl wrote:<br><br>> Rather than just eyeing it up, is there a measurement one can take to see <br>> if the rear is sagging too low and then if it´s even side-to-side?
