I have a 1997 corvette. Just took it out of storage for the winter. I noticed that the car is sitting on the ground and the finder well is about an inch from the tire. If I move her around the yard it scrapes the ground. Where should I start to find out what is wrong with the front end.

Thank you for the
Help you may offer,

While I am not a Corvette expert, but holy moly!!! I believe something is wrong with your RTD (Real Time Damping) system. As you may know the RTD system controls the ride via damper solenoid valve in each shocks. But, before condemning the entire system as faulty, it might be as easy as a bad fuse or relay. Check these fuses and relay first.
