Lifting a Caravelle
Posted: 13 Jan 2010, 21:29
Please Help.
I have just bought a 96 caravelle and the previous owner has lowered the suspension and added 22" alloys which look great !
However the silly sausage has not done his homework as every lump in the road causes the most horrible sound as the wheels bounces of the wheel arch. Also when the steering wheel is fully locked left or right the wheels scrape on the front skirt.
I have looked at lifting kits and find lots of air kits and so on costing thousands, does anyone know of any inexpensive spacers for the springs or a simple solution other than changing the wheels.
P.S. I am not the most mechanical guy on the planet, but I can use a spanner !
All sensible ideas very welcome.
Thanks for your help !!!!!
