Several questions... ie... Suspension Springs, Struts, Instrument cluster 700 1988

I have a '88 740 turbo sedan

Suspension Springs:
In looking at my car the other day, it seems that my car is tilted to the drivers side a bit. I measured the distance from the top of wheel to fender and it is off about and 1.5 inches. It really looks like the car has been lifted almost of the passenger side. What could cause this? Do I need new springs? Are '94 940 wagon springs interchangeable with 740 sedans?

Struts:
Does anyone know if '94 940 wagon struts are interchangeable on a sedan 740? I have some serious moaning coming from the front when I hit any bump.

Instrument Cluster:
Every morning after the car sits overnight and cools down. I start it up and the instrument gauges seize to work until after I drive it a bit. It only seems to do this when the weather is cold at night. We have had only a few nice warm nights in Pittsburgh this spring so my data could be a little off. But when it is warm at night the cluster works, as well as it working when I leave work. This winter it seemed that the colder it was the longer the gauges did not work. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this malfunction?


Selling:
As you could probably tell from above, I have a parts car which is a '94 940 wagon. Color Green. Email me at mattrmc@hotmail.com if you have parts request. I will let you know if they are available. Some large items are: doors, '88 740 turbo engine (very cheap)
