Hi guys,
The front end of my Series V sits uneven. Granted, the area it is parked on is not level, but the difference is obvious regardless of where I am parked. My assumption was that the low side has a sag for any of a number of reasons. I have since rethought this and I believe that it is possible that the high side is in fact too high. I took some approximate measurements from the center of my wheel to the edge of the fender opening, and they were as follows;
Passenger front: 14 3/4"
Drivers front: 13 1/2"
Passenger rear: 14"
Drivers rear: 13 1/2"
I can speculate all day long about the fact that the "sagging" drivers side both sit at 13 1/2" while the passenger side are different, but without knowing what the height should be, I am going in circles. So the question to you is:
What is the distance in inches between the center of your wheel, and the respective fender openings?
I do have one other anomaly that could be having an affect on my ride height and that is the "additional?" leafspring on the rear of the car. I have never seen one in any photos of any other alpine, but as you can see in the linked photo, there is an additional single leaf at the rear of my car. The body damage to the quarter panel was the result of a broken axle this summer, and I think I got off pretty lucky considering.

Thank you as always for your efforts everyone.
