I recently bought a 1984 300td that appears to have 72,000 miles on it. Nonetheless, even with the trunk and backseat empty it displays a peculiar "crouching tiger" stance, with the rear noticeably lower than the front. Or maybe it's the "leaping puppy" stance...
Before fooling around with the suspension, I'd like to figure out if the front is high or the rear is low. To that end, does anybody have any measurements for how high off the pavement a stock suspension should ride? None of the crummy manuals I have address this. I don't know if it's fatigued rears or misadjusted front, or what?
