Ok, so, in the various ponderings of SBO vs BBO into my 1979 Cutlass Calais, I've been advised that some people have clearance issues when the body mounts are worn, and, yes, that makes sense to me - the lower the body is on the frame, the tighter clearance will be under the hood.
The problem is that I am absolutely 110% clueless as to where body mounts are on this car, or, eyeballing, if my car's body is sinking based on worn body mounts or not.
I mean, the car DOES seem slightly low to me, but that's because I'm used to driving a 1987 Crown Victoria every day.
So, uh, where do I look? What would my first clues be, if any, even before going underside and looking for the body mounts (which I have no idea how to identify or even where to find at this point), etc etc...
Yep, I'm feeling pretty lost at the moment on this!
