I hear a clunk coming from the front end when I hit a bump or a "step up" in the road. When I put her on the lift and the front suspension is hanging down it appears that the torsion rods are not in contact with the suspension. It's as if they need to be tightened but that would raise the front end. I'm sorely lacking in knowledge of the suspension. What say the experts? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Rubber donuts in between the shock and the top shock cover?
And, your torsion bar end adjusters need to be relocated/rotated. |

Or as Mark mentioned, maybe they aren't tightened down properly. If I adjust the torsion bars it will raise the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
