2010 CX9 GT
Hello All. Just got my new (to me) 2010 cx9 GT AWD home and cleaned up. Sitting in the garage, I noticed the driver side front is .3" lower than the passenger side front. (I checked to make sure the garage was level first, and yes the tires are the same size/make, and have the same air pressure) The rear of the vehicle is level. Can anyone supply the tolerance for this (front left vs right) ? The car is a CPO, so if I replace the springs, it might be covered.


Also, any recommendations for a source for mazda replacement springs for the front? (in case the dealer won't cover it, I'll need to find the springs and someone with more reasonable pricing than the dealer). I don't want to replace the springs with aftermarket since I think the ride is firm enough. If anything, I'd get stiffer anti-roll bars, but that's another story....


thanks
 
The manual for the 2012 CX-9 indicates the maximum allow difference side to side is 10mm (0.39inches) measured from the wheel centerline to the "Fender Brim Measurement Point."
