suspension height

[wayne scott]

Hi I am new to this site, I have a 1990 Riviera with original struts, springs and shocks (no air struts) I have changed the front struts (AC Delco originals) now the ride height seems to be a bit high compared to how it was before I changed them. Can some one please tell me what the ride height should be for front and back (from road through the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch)
Do they need to settled in for a few thousand miles??

Yes, they do settle after a while. The correct ride height would be listed in the service manual.

Unless you can find someone with the manual, you'll have to look around for one. That would be the only place you would find that information. Ebay has them. Most times you can find them cheap, not so much for 1990 though,

I have a 90 also but no manual. Mine is still original. If it helps, here's a pic.

If you'd like me to measure something, let me know but in more layman's terms.
