Weird problem: recently, when I start my 91 Festiva and gently press the accelerator, the front wheels don't move but the back end -- the whole frame -- drops down a few inches. If a press a little harder on the accelerator it starts going forward, but the back stays dropped down. This process repeats whenever I stop, although it seems to disappear after I've been driving awhile. The rear tires & air pressure seem fine -- like I said, the whole frame drops above them.
Maybe it isn't a serious problem, but the other morning the right side was parked on some snow/ice, and the front wheels wouldn't go forward AT ALL, no matter how much I pressed the accelerator. I had to push the car to get it moving! Also, the outside temperature doesn't seem to matter for this dropping problem. I replaced a ball joint a few months ago, other than that, I haven't had any issues with the car. Any ideas?
