Has anyone tried raising the front end of their Aurora by fabricating spacers and placing them at the top of the struts? Or, has anyone raised their front end by any means?

Thank you very nuch for the help. I managed to get apart because of you. I found the plastic handle broken and tried to repair it with super glue to no avail. So it seems that i need to find a replacement handle. any suggestions? Craig

Ah, but will you be able to get it back TOGETHER because of me?
 
Of course you will.
 
Ah, door handle parts--that could be very tough. I'd say google the internet for Oldsmobile parts, then try eBay search, then see if someone on your local craigslist is parting out an Aurora, then try a large wrecking yard in your area, or a "Pick a Part".

Thanks again. I know I can get it back together...because I still have some super glue left over, lol . Now for the shopping of the door handle. and a pearl white one at that. Hey..what do ya think of changinging the air intake to a aftermarket type? or adding a performance chip? There are these parts on eBay and i feel tempted to bid!? Craig
