After closley inspecting our recently purchased 2000 Grand Marquis, we noticed that it is lower on the front right side. Looking at it from the back, it appears to be leaning. The previous owner went up a curb and the bumper, passenger's side fender & headlight, and many steering components were replaced. The body and frame look straight, so we suspected it was the shocks needed replacement. Both in the front had blown and Gabriel "Ultra-somethings" (They were the top-of-the-line shocks available. I'll get the name soon.) took their place. Unfortunately, this didn't fix our problem. It's still falling forward, so we think it might be the control arms. Do the control arms on this year/model G- Marq affect ride height? Can they be adjusted through the two connections that mount onto the frame? I have photos of the upper arms for reference.
Here is the front right side, where the impact took place. As you can see, the two big nuts (No pun) on the "adjustment cams" (Going off of the Hayne's Manual here) have a gap between them. I read that these determine the caster of the respective wheel.
This is another shot of the same side.
This here is the front left side, which looks to be in place.
