Help: Torsion bars
OK, my expy is the first vehicle I've ever had with torsion bar suspension, so I'm trying to figure this out.
I have the four-corner LLS, but it always seems like front end is sitting lower than the rear. When it's sitting it's quite noticable. I have a hard time seeing it when I'm driving
but it "feels" like it's sitting with the front down. I know the front air suspension is working because I've tested it and it goes up and down.
What I'm wondering is, I've heard that torsion bars will eventually sag and need replacement. Is this true, or should I be looking for something in the LLS that's causing the front to be lower. When I had it aligned a couple months ago the tech said that the "bars were sagging and someone had already cranked the adjustment to max." I didn't think much of it at the time, but it sounds like my bars are worn and someone already tried to adjust it back to normal height?
any insights would be helpful. Oh, btw it has about 78k on it.
Thanks!
