My vehicle is sitting lower than normal and has a rubbing sound. Also seems to roll or waddle on the highway. I checked that all lugs were tight on wheels.

Hi,

The height of the vehicle is determined by the suspension coil springs. Does it seem to sit low in the front, rear, or a specific wheel?

Take a look at the two pics below. The first is the front suspension. I highlighted the coil springs that are part of the strut assembly. Make sure they are not broken.

Pic 2 shows one side of the rear suspension. I highlighted the coil spring. There is also one on the opposite side. Do the same. Confirm nothing is broken.

Let me know what you find. Also, if you could take a few pics of how it's sitting and upload them for me to see, it may help.

Take care,

Joe
