. Took my 2016 legacy to the dealer and three mechanics already, and they all told me it is all fine. I measured with a tape, and the undercarriage of the car is lower by half an inch on the rear compared to the front. Put a little weight on the back, just 50 or 100 lbs, and then the car is visibly lowered on the rear. Remains a mystery to me. Anyone has any thoughts?
saggy rear suspension

Hi Thanks for that info! So, when I mentioned earlier that the rear was lower than the front, I was referring to the distance between the flood and the chassi. Measuring the wheels as per the nice diagram above with the car fully unloaded (and gas talk half-way), I get the following: front measurement = 16.25; rear measurement = 14.5. This is a difference of 1.75 inches, which is more than 1 inch of manufacturer's specifications. What I don't get is how three mechanics tell me the suspension is fine.
Personally, I see it going down quite a lot with minimal weight (as passenger or trunk load), which tells me the springs have become rather soft.
Question -- those spacers I could put, do they just minimize the height or actually make the rear suspension a bit stiffer?
