A lot of our cars seem to do this. There seem to be some subtle causes which I 
have not been able to pin down, or perhaps they just never did fit quite right.

I HAVE seen a car where the brackets which are welded to the body to support 
the rear engine mounts have torn loose and started shifting downward. That was 
an extreme case, but you should probably check to make sure that this part of 
your car's body is okay.
