My 1998 850 GLT Turbo seems to have become lower in the front with the result that the front end spolier is being damaged by curbs and such. This seems to have happened gradually over time. Any thoughts about solutions? Thanks!

Scraping the front spoiler is a pretty common problem. I doubt
the car has dropped. Maybe the spolier is loose from damage?
It is held on with two 10mm bolts on either end and clips up
under the front bumper. Pretty easy to remove and replace -- you
might check that it is correctly in place.

A more serious problem is the radiator mounts often break when
you bump a low curb. You should check the radiator mounts and
make sure nothing has been damaged.

Ray: Thanks for the tip. I compared the front end height of this 850 with my other 850 (we have 2, 1997 and 1996) and it is lower. Think that indicates the need for new shocks, struts, springs etc? Regards, Fred

Guys,

Be careful too....That front spolier is directly realted to A/C cooling too.

If the car doesn't cool correctly i would look there first. I see many people pull up on a curb and I hear .."Crunch". They just back up alittle, over time that will kill the aero-dymantics of the car. Its all related.

Hope this helps.
