are all of your tires inflated equally? if so, you could have a bad strut. did you take a corner or bump really hard recently? are the struts stock?

jack it up, take off the wheel and have a good look, see if your spring is broken

Taurus syndrom!!!!!!!!


Spring sag maybe. It's known as Taurus syndrom. Because Taurus' are known for having problems with spring sag in the rear.

A spring might have snapped. Considering how much drop there is. Is your tire rubbing at all?

blown strut, lost part of your spring mount, spring not seated properly, broken spring, body in trunk.

Whats the difference between a bowling ball and a fat girl?

You can eat a bowling ball if you really had to.....
