    Nah, I checked my trunk too to see if my sub was still in there too. Nothing in the trunk changed, and no UFO sightings either, but seriously, im stumped on that, I really have no idea on what happened.

    Weird Rear Suspension Problem

    Something quite weird happened to my rear end in the last week, for 2 days, the rear of my car dropped what looked like about 3 inches (the tired where up into the fender wells, it looked like I had 2 really big guys in the back seat, but the car was empty) and the ride got extremely rough. Then last night, I come out to my car, the rear end was back to the normal height and the ride was back to normal. At first I thought it was my struts/springs that had to be replaced, which I found weird because both sides sagged the same at the same time, but now since they are back to the normal height and the ride is backt o how it was before, I really have no idea of what happened. Anybody have any ideas or ever had a similar problem?

    Maybe someone was using your trunk to store dead people.

    Probably optical illusion......or your car was sitting at an angle or something. Or maybe your struts are shot.

    it wasnt an optical illusion, car was parked at the same place it always was, the rear tires really we're up into the fender wells, and the extremely rough ride i had for 2 days was not an illusion...

    Seems like a really strange problem. I dunno if anyone is going to have any experience with something like that since most other suggestions involve dead bodies and aliens. Might wanna get it checked out if it happens again or it worries you.

    Well it did happen again tonight, so it is getting checked out within the next week... im afraid i'll have to replace the suspension at all four corners (time to lower it i guess)...
