I usually buy and fix mid 80s and older us cars but I bought this car from a government auction for $900 and fell in love. Very powerful and luxurious. My problem is with the front end. With my foot on the break I put the car in drive and it looks like the entire suspension shifts towards the back of the car and I noticed it has new tires on the front but both are bald on the insides. I'm trying to fix this myself so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Get the car up on a lift or at least some jack stands where you can get underneath and inspect your suspension, bushings and control arms. You'll need an alignment, but will want to fix or replace some worn out stuff before you do that I think.

$900?! Nice!

I've had it up on jack stands. Nothing looks broken or lose but I'd bet the bushing are bad. I was hoping some one had delt with this problem before.

Well, honestly I don't understand your description very well. Your problem is in the front according to the title and then you describe your suspension shifts towards the back, while you're in a parked car... I just don't get that. Maybe someone else can read that and understand what you mean. Or maybe you can try to describe it differently.
