Sh*t Ride quality

[HitandRunDriver]

Sorry for the crappy quality but I noticed this when i was poking my head under my truck.





Does that look right to you?

That does not look normal at all, I think your bars are messed up with that much play.....
Someone help him out lol because I'm note exactly sure...

My torsion bars are that way also. Can't say if it affects the ride cause I have only had it a week. First torsion bar vehicle I have ever had. If the weight is on the suspension and it is that close to the bump stop that might be your problem.

Well that pic was taken with the hoe sitting normally, not jacked up or anything. Idk if the bump stops would be the problem...unless they wear out?

 

[jhellwig]

they shouldn't hit unless you hit a bump hard or rack the suspension severly

Your fine, that is normal. Think of a socket bearing down on a bolt. The sides of the hex are not going to line up 100% parallel with the sides of the bolt when you put your pressure on it to loosen or tighten. Look at your lugs nuts, they are scuffed near the points to kinda give everyone a better visual of what I'm trying to explain.

So do I need to crank up my keys? I haven't touched them at all.

I would say not to do that, you generally want to ride sitting on the bumpstops a little. Otherwise you risk bottoming out into the fender, especially if you lower the vehicle....only then would you want to cut them and only a little bit too.

So I guess the question is, what are my options from here?

1. Crank up the torsion keys
2. New torsion bars
3. New rear springs
4. Ditch the Monroe Reflex shocks and go with something else
5. New bump stops?
