My car was sitting next to Whitey's car in a flat parking lot, and mine noticeably sat lower in the rear. Is there a screw in the Watts Linkage to adjust? What should be the space between the top of the tyre and fender lip? Apologies if this was posted before, but I could not for the life of me find anything.

There is no "screw" to adjust the rear height. You will have to loosen two nuts and slide the adjuster left or right. The adjuster is on the Watts link.

Would you happen to know what the height is supposed to be between fender, and tyre?

No specification in the shop manual and I'm not going outside to measure when it's less than 20 degrees. Maybe someone in a warm location can measure theirs. You should have measured the other MM................


BTW.... you measure from the bottom of the highest point of the fender lip to the center of the wheel.

Measurement : driver side where the bumper meets the fender, top of the bumper is 27 1/4".
