Default 2 questions

1st one is simple enough. whats good way to get rid of stickers that are on the car? there is sticker on it from original owner meant for like a parking pass of some kind, and i'm not gonna use the pass so want to get rid of it. whats best way?

and secondly, i was just looking at my car today and noticed that my car looked strange... the front left side looked low... i checked all the tire pressures and they were all good. i pulled out a ruler and meassured from top of wheel well to top of tire and the front left was .5 lower than the rest. whats up? stock springs and shocks and car has bout 100,000 miles, think its bad springs or shocks? if so, good reason to get new stuff sooner than later

Unless you are using the razor on glass, don't use a razor on your body panels. You'll cut into the paint. Try using a hair dryer to heat up the sticker and try to peel it up from an edge. Or, I think 3M make something to take adhesives off.

.5" lower than the rest
That's normal...unless you don't drive on that side of the car.

No, but the springs tend to stay that way after a while.
