May be nothing, but, as some people may have seen, my car is quite high. But, I put 8 slabs in my car yesterday to take to my house to make a make shift driveway, and even with them out now, the car is about 3 inches lower than it was. I've even driven it and it hasnt raised any higher.
Im not too worried about it as the suspension still feels fine.
I guess I may have just got myself a free lowering ![Laughing Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif)
But should I be worried?

Could be rear shocks gone, or worst axle bearings (but i doubt that)

Ill see what it looks like on a definitely flatter surface, but I still think its lower than the first pic.

Didn't reverse straight in and put the handbrake on did you? That would hold the rear end down.
