A couple of questions I need some help on...
It looks like my starter is on its way out. A few times recently when I go to start the car I get the high pitched spinning sound of the starter motor without any response from the engine. How much does a starter motor cost and is the replacement a DIY job?

Also another interesting thing that I noticed only recently and someone from Wheel & Tire Zone commented on as well.. it seems as though my car is sitting lower on the passanger side than on the driver side (by about 3/4 of an inch). Could this be a spring perch? I looked at the springs when i had the car jacked up and they looked fine. any thoughts? Any idea on what spring perches cost? Do you use the same ones even in a car with Konis and Eibachs?

Any help would be great.

thx
