In my opinion, if it bothers you, you should not just get over it! As I oft=
en have to remind my wife & so called friends, I do not care if "no one wil=
l notice", I do & it will bother me until I fix it or die.Gary Hodson

I am just back from measuring and the car is in fact low on the left=C2=A0b=
oth back=C2=A0AND front=C2=A0(as many of you predicted) by between 3/8" to =
1/2" (+/- 1/16").
The actual ground clearance measurements from the concrete floor to the poi=
nts of intersection of the transverse cross-members and the chassis rails--=
within the tolerances of a 4' spirit level and a steel tape--are:
Front left: 6-1/8" . Front right: 6-5/8"
Rear left: 7-0" Rear right: 7-3/8"
I don't know the source of the fore and aft rake but I really cannot notice=
it and in any case it does not bother me. The lean to the left does distur=
b me esthetically, and btw it is probably a bit greater when I am on board.=
However, given the tolerances of parts for our cars, etc. I wonder if it i=
s worth doing anything or, in the words of Mick Mulvaney, should I just get=
over it?
