Just realised that the N/S front of the 3000M is several inches higher than the other side. Looks like the the suspension is stuck after being left on jacks for a long time.
Any ideas where to start to "unstick it".
Cheers,

Sounds like the suspension bolts have seized.

I'd spray around the areas where the wishbones are bolted to the chassis with WD40, leave it for a couple of hours then go for a drive.

That should free them up nicely.

Sounds like you need a trunion kit (spelt wrong I know). its the bolt that goes through the bottom of the hub linking to the two bottom suspension arms. you may be able to free it with WD but ultimately they seize as a pass time.
