I just finished rebuilding my front suspension and replacing my struts. Now the car seems to be much higher up front. I figure this is normal considering the old stuff had 142,000 miles on it. Well is it normal?

It may be if you replaced your stock springs too. The stock springs usually sag, especially after 100,000 miles roll under the wheels.

I have the same problem. I think its due to the rear springs sagging over time. My rear sits about an inch and a half lower than the front. The only way I can see to fix it would be to replace the springs or lower the front to match, it's up to you. Good luck

You probably didn't tighten the control arm bolts with the car at ride height. This will pre-load the bushings incorrectly and contribute to ride height.

Have you driven the car yet? When you raise the car, the wheels tuck in. Then when you let it down, the friction between the tire and the work surface keeps them tucked in. If you roll the car foward, it should settle.
