Ride Height

Hi all

bout 2 months ago bought a 97 diesel S40, shortly after used it to tow a trailer with motorbike , cycles and camping gear. Had next to no power but put this down to the weight. But have noticed that the car permanently sits down at the rear now, and with exception of a few work things in the back it's empty. The suspension appears to be ok so cant figure out why the car now looks like it's got a boot full of lead?????? any suggestions??

Don't want to state the obvious but i would have it inspected for any suspension damage, these particular cars do tend to ride high at the front so can make the rear end look low.
