front lower than back? 4.5 gen - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I've recently taken over my mom's camry (2001 4.5 gen).. at first the back of the car was evened out with the front, ever since i took on the car.. after braking hard for a couple months.. the front keeps getting slowly lower.. and lower.

now when i park the car next to another 4.5 gen camry.. the rear end definately looks like its higher than the other.

have anyone faced this problem? i'm just hoping this wont cause me to change the front suspention or whatever is wearing down.

Would you mind posting pics? I actually have a Gen 4.5 myself and I've never noticed this problem. Now I have lowered my car and the front is slightly lower than the back because the coils were designed that way.

i think your struts may need replacing.

lol yeah did you replace the shockies when you lowered it?

It has the opposite affect for me, the front looks higher than the rear judging by the gap from the tire the guards, but it actually sitting perfectly straight if measured from the bottom of the car.

But i wanna see a pic! And a pic of the front and rear guards
