Weird Frontend Problem
This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Last time I put her up she was just fine no problems. I went out and backed out of the driveway the front spoiler scraped. It had never done this before so I got out looked and the front end is noticeable lower. It seems a little lower on the passenger side however I measured in a couple of places and the car is the same height on both sides. The spoiler is scraping more on the passenger side so it does seem that side is lower. The front-end kind of bounces when you drive down the road it doesn’t feel normal. However, it seems to handle find makes no noise when turning or going over bumps. The front tires just clear the finders when you turn them. This car has the Z51 suspension, 1993. So what to do the gurus think here? Cheers Mates

i would look at the shocks and springs. I would think if the ball joints or tie rod ends were bad enough to cause the car to sag you would hear something as well... but what do i know! my .02

another vote for balljoints, but check your rear suspension too, particularly the spring mounts at the upright. if one side in the rear is off it will affect the front too on the diagonal.
