It will seem like forever when driving with my front drivers side sitting a half inch lower than the rest of the car. I get panic attacks every time i walk up to the car and see it leaning.

Thumbs up Outside door handle repair
Followed the bright and informative HOW TO ARTICLE to repair my out side door handle carrier
http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...andle-fix.html

Easy project took approx 2 hrs labor and 2 hrs of cleaning and waxing all the parts like door panel, Amour ALL the rubber bits and lube everything else. The hardest aprt was the key hole wrap part. Did not get the idea that there were just two L O N G fingers. Took longer to pry the sucker off that it did anything else.

Thanks guys for all the info, made my life easy.

Calibrated my jacked up suspension yesterday. What a difference. Each corner was anywhere from 17mm up 30mm off from the factor recommended height. Got everything to spec and the thing rides and handles like a dream, although it looks a lot higher than it was before. I'm starting to think maybe the previous owner tried to lower it and really jacked it up.
