1991 945T

Hey folks, a short while ago I noticed that the front-driver's-side appears to be about 2" lower than the passenger side, on even pavement, anywhere, even with the car empty.

In fact, the front ride height on both sides seems to be higher than on any other 940 I've seen, the car seems to sag to the rear a little, and I have trouble seeing straight down the road in the rearview mirror -- I see more road than sky, if you know what I mean. Very strange. This is before and after replacing the following parts:

- new Genuine Volvo front springs
- new Sachs fron struts
- new Genuine Volvo sway bar links and bushings
- new radius (strut) rod bushings
- rear overload springs from FCP

Any idea why the ride height is unevenfrom left to right and from front to rear? What components should I measure distances between to help diagnose the problem? Could one side lower in the rear cause the opposite side to be higher in the front?

Thanks,
Chris
