The rear end on my car has seemed low lately, I just recently began greatly noticing because I put on mud guards and they scrape constantly. I am thinking it'* because when I put on new suspension I was told I needed shocks in the rear...so I got Gabriel shocks. I put Gabriel struts on the front and it seems fine. The back though with the shocks seems a little harsh and it sags a lot. Should I have struts on the back? Or could it be the springs are going bad? I do have some stuff in the trunk, but nothing that should make it sag as much as it is.

i have the saggin problem 2 always wondered what the fix for that would be?

I dont think that shocks would work back there, only struts. springs dont go bad....

Kenn adjust your ELC

how would i do that i did a search and came back with electronics

ask steve....I gave him instructions to adjust his

i feel like being nice

Height sensor operational check

turn ignition Off then on to reset the sensor timer circuts
disconnect the sensor arm
check that the wiring is securely connected to the sensor, and the harness ground wire is connected
Move the actuating arm up, there should be a 7-10 sec delay before the compressor starts and the struts start to inflate. As soon as the struts fill stop the compressor by moving the arm down
Move the actuating arm down below a postion where the compressor stopped, there should be a 7-10 sec delay before the the struts start to deflate and the vehicle lowers

Height sensor adjustment

park vehicle on level floor
check the following
tire inflation pressures
fuel level in tank, tnak should be near full
no load should be in the vehicle
place front seats in rear position
turn ignition to ON to activete the system
bounce the rear of the vehicle three times to normalize the suspension

loosen the lock blot that clamps the metal actuating arm to the plastic actuatuing arm. To raise the height, move the plastic arm upward, to lower the height move it down ward.
tighten the lock bolt

Guys, ELC adjustment is in techinfo. But it'* not going to help a LeSabre, and springs CAN go bad. Really, adding air shocks/struts to the rear and manually filling them coould be a good option. Jr's3800 did this to his 95SE and loves it. They're actually gas struts with air assist. Instead of hooking them up to ELC (which you don't have) you can do a manual fill with them.

PM Don about how he rigged his, and:

You should not use air struts to compensate for bad springs, tho. This can cause erratic handling and poor ride. These cars are known for the rear springs getting soft in their old age. The springs are cheap and relatively easy to install. If the car is sagging when it is empty, it is because of the springs. The ELC is only supposed to help when there is people and cargo in there.
