lower than the left, and even that side is down a bit. This isn't the first<br>
time a torsion bar has settled on this car and made the front height uneven,<br>
in 2002 I replaced the right torsion bar as it had sagged down more than the<br>
left...<br>
<br>
I checked the height several times while I was in Michigan to make sure it<br>
wasn't just where it was sitting, it was always noticeably lower on the<br>
right front sitting on the bump stop and just off it on the left. We<br>
checked it in John's driveway which was pretty level... same results. The<br>
car was unloaded of any significant weight at the time....<br>
<br>
WELL....<br>
<br>
I have it out in the garage now and checked it again... and WHAT? Its back<br>
up to where it was? HOW could this be? its even both sides! Now several<br>
folks saw how it was uneven in Michigan, Brian, Jim, John... and I know if<br>
Brian had snuck out Sunday night and changed anything it would be DOWN not<br>
up!<br>
<br>
And yes, I swear, on my mother's grave I have NOT touched it myself! What<br>
could be going on? Is Vaders "force" so powerful that Type 3's feel that<br>
they should bow their noses before him? Magnetic anomaly from something<br>
Henry Ford did in the Dearborn area? Im speechless!<br>
<br>
I really need to get it out now and repeat my observation in different spots<br>
but my garage is darn near flat and even... I don't get it! Im not a<br>
supersticus person and don't believe in breaking the laws of physics but I<br>
have a Notchback out in the garage now that is even and thumbs width between<br>
its lower snubbers and the lower arm.<br>
