Re: '56 Suspension

For the rear to be in "correct" position, the lower edge of the skirt should bisect the center of the rear wheel. In your picture P1853[01]_07-06-10.jpg, the rear is WAY HIGH, i.e., NOT in normal position.

As explained above, the T-L suspension is like a "teeter totter". If the rear is high, then the front is low and vice versa. I also agree with the other assessments that there is probably nothing wrong with your main torsion bars. Your problem is too much "up" twist on the compensator bars, causing the rear to rise and the front to lower.

When you previously stated that the compensator motor was working OK, what do you mean PRECISELY?
