HELP! C5 suspension problem
I have a 1999 C5 Targa. I just noticed that the front end is riding much higher than it used to. I have like a 4-5 inch gap between the top of the tire and the fender! Anyone know what could fail to cause this?

Assuming someone didn't swap tires with you, you'll need to get under there and start looking. Test your shocks for broken internal rods. Examine the body to frame alignment pins and as many of the body to frame connection bolts. Not sure what else to suggest.

How may miles on the car? Has the car been stored on jack stands? If nothing else has been changed I would suspect the shock shafts could have corrosion causing them to bind and keeping them from returning to the neutral position.
