I looked at it more closely and then when I go home I made a crude measurement to see how much lower. It looks to be fairly substantial, on the order of 3/8”, maybe more.

The ride does not seem hard, the symptom of the accumulators going bad. I had actually replaced both of them around 60k miles ago…the car is high mileage…I bought it to drive and I do! Does anybody have any ideas as to what to look at before I bring it in? Thanks
