With only the front left corner appearing low I would also wonder about the condition of the A arm bushings and shock absorber. A bind or difference in friction could also be keeping the corner low. Can you push down or pull up on the left corner and have it move as far and with a similar effort as the right side needs for the same motion?

Upper arm bushings are new. shock absourbers are worn both sides(need to be replaced)

I can pull up the front left corner but not push down. it sits on rubber.

If you could look under the car and tell us the number of grooves that are cut in the suspension pin (the vertical pin next to the shock absorber)I can make a suggestion for a new pin. These are very easy to make. I find the adjustable one unoetig kompliziert. Let us know the length of the one on the other side also.

On these cars the pins are just like heels on your shoes. The taller, the taller the car stands.

do you mean this?

I have a problem with suspension. front left corner is resting lower than other corners. it sit it's lowest position. There is no broken parts that i can see.

Ive found this link ->http://www.1956packardpanther.com/Panther/adjLinks.html

Is there another way to fix torsion level suspension?

I am going to replace all wires but im making new wiring harness myself.

There was new headliner in the trunk when i bought the car but all headliner mounts were broken. The new parts are with 3D printer. I also add small rubber bushes.

Thank you.

Main broblems with this car:

- Oil leaks all over the car
- Gears wont work as they should be
- Suspension in left front corner wont work
- Wires are bad condition
- Brakes wont work
- Exhaust leak
- Interior is in bad shape

Done so far:

- Brakes rebuilt / new lines as well
- Upper control arm new bushes
- Main oil leaks fixed
- Rebuilt carb
- New coil
- New water hoses
- Rebuilt Heater box
- Gear adjustment / gears work still poorly
- Seats re-upholstered
- Registration

A test drive was driven 100 miles and the following observations were made:

- Gears neen alot of work
- The suspension does not work as it should and the car is dangerous to drive

+ Engine works great
+ Steering feels stiff
+ The car looks great
