Hi..
This post includes a link to 5 pics of the car... so please check those out (total 250kB). Once again I thank the experts sincerely for their thoughts and opinions.
Concerning the weight of the auto tranny vs. the manual, I have to agree that it is insufficient (delta of 50lb) to cause a 2.5" difference in ride height. I also doubt that it is an optical illusion or that the axle is bent... My best guess is either that the front shocks are over charged to accomodate and auto. tranny OR that the rear springs have just worn out and the front rides perfectly normal. The evidence proving that it is not the rear portion of the car is that the front tires are extremely worn to the outside, whereas the tread in the center of the front tires is fine. I suppose an alignment is needed sooner or later and that is about all I can fathom at this point.
Thanks!
Robert C
