Sitting low

[Bagpuss12]

I have a 2015 FR estate and was wondering if it’s sitting too low at the rear? It’s drives fine and there are no noises but it just looks like it hangs too low over wheels? I’ve read there known issues with the rear springs? Could this be the issue?

Probably best to stick a photo up mate

The ride height (referred to as ground clearance is in the workshop manual).

The workshop manuals are here:

General maintenance - Leon Mk3 Official Seat Workshop Manuals Link

Hi All! I obtained these a few months ago, and they've been a great use so far. Here's a link to all of the Seat Workshop manuals for the Leon Mk3 3dr/5dr. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M4ofxxMgsFjE7hNWg6l4KuifelmdMUu0?usp=sharing...

You need the ST versions, then manual titled:

Running Gear, Axles and Steering, Chapter 44 (geometry).

a - front 369mm; rear 369mm.

Nothing worse than a saggy bottom

And that’s with an empty boot

You might have a snapped spring

Ride height is determined by the spring

I would be looking for probably the top or bottom of the spring to be broken

My 2014 ST sits lower at the back than the front and lower than yours.

I had a detachable towbar fitted and that added a few KG when the rear cross member thingy was replaced with a bit of box steel. Also have a fair amount of crud in the boot (useful crud of course). Car drives fine. Had rear shocks done 2 years ago but springs were fine.

I actually think yours looks quite `normal`
