You were right on about his eclipse. I really don't think it is a collapsed spring either... get this.. when we lefted up the back right corner then set it down it was at normal height.. He said lets roll it back some... we did and it lowered a bit. That does not sound like a spring to me. If it was a spring problem wouldn't it immediately lower down to its incorrect position? By the time I got home it seemed to be back to it's super low position. Darn thing! I truly thing something is broken with the upper strut mount. Anyone ever hear of that happening?
