Okay bricksters, here's a puzzle that I haven't been able to solve: the 240 sedan, when parked on a flat level surface, is closer to the ground at the driver front end than at the passenger front corner. The front left corner is sits about one inch lower than the right front. Tires are equally inflated at all corners. To remedy this, I have replaced the front struts and springs twice, as well as the rear springs and shocks, and the result is always the same......the driver front corner sits lower than the passenger side. The rear corners are within a half inch of each other, with the passenger rear about one-half inch higher than the driver rear corner. Kind of seems like the whole car is twisted, but there is no evidence of any previous damage from an accident. The front end alignment is perfect and there is no sign of any underbody damage that would result from a collision.

What might be the cause of this?

Daryl
