TR3 Leaning Body

[Glenn McQuire]

Just dropped the car off the Axle Stands after a 25 year holiday off the Road, you can get you clenched fist on top of the Nearside front Wheel touching the underneath edge of the front wing, try the same on the Offside and half that distance, result the car now sits badly on the road by a couple of inches. So one Coil Spring duff?, of course we will fit a matched pair, any issues here gents??

I would run the car a while and see if it settles.

Lower inner wishbone bush seized on the cross pin.

Did you fit the aluminium spacer block above the spring on both sides?   Were both the front springs the same length and strength  ie a pair.?

If so.   Slack the lock nuts on the trunnions, lower inner wishbone to chassis and upper inner wishbone to chassis by half a turn.  See if that resolves the issue as stated by Stuart and Iain

IF the stud is missing etc., from the bottom wishbone arms isn't possible to fit these upside down?

Would think that would make a difference such as detailed here.

Yes the wishbones can be fitted inverted if the inner stud is removed.

A photo of each side looking at the lower wishbone and trunnion would tell us.
