Can you post a side view picture of your car or post wheel arch heights?

My front end has been slowly saging down over the past four years, kind of looked like it was pulling the back end up at the same time.

I adjusted the screws up front and got many handling improvements (see the 101 Projects book). The screws had slipped all the way down, I now have more thread above than below.

Someone had put some blue stuff on one of the threads, so I'm guessing this is not an uncommon problem.

The largest change is the annoying whine from the back tire is gone after raising the front. The sound showed up more on hot days and not at all on very cool days.

Even though our sounds are different I can say getting the car to the right height can change sounds and other things which you might not expect.

Front was 24", now 26"

Back was 25-1/2, still about the same.

Some may say I have my car too high, but I live in Michigan with freak'n pot-holes.
