I stopped at a light this morning. What should pull up but the near EXACT twin to my car. Same chrome trim, same dealer tag, same colour and year, even the same tarnished antique brass license frame. And, yes, it sat almost the same as mine. The back looked about right, and the front looked like it was "nose up". The lady in the car just looked at my car several times and smiled. Mine is in MUCH better condition than the other car, but how strange. Guess it was a popular color in Dallas that year.
Could it be that the springs are the same as the gas cars and were meant for the heavier motor? I would think that the aluminum engines wouldn't be AS heavy as the diesel, but maybe I'm mistaken on that one. When I installed a cheap brand of shocks on Mother's Volvo, it not only rode like a truck (she said it just kind of shook her liver) but the ride height in the rear was higher. Could these Monroe shocks with the wrong valving have some kind of "push" to them to make the front higher?
It pulls to the right pretty bad. The records show that the alignment was done less than 2K miles ago, but it has been sitting for quite a while. May have that done too this weekend.
