I'm in the process of trying to complete a Warrior Twist on my '97 4door. I've got the shackles on but can't finish because like I said, she doesn't stand/sit level from side to side. She sloped down to the right (reference, driver side = right, passenger = left). I think this because of a previous wheelin accident. The right torsion bar bracket was bent foward by a rock during a wheelin trip several months ago. I had it bent back and noticed that the top of the right wheel was tilting inwards. I thought an alignment job would fix this so I aksed to shop to perform an alignment job but I didn't work and the right side still sagged. Looking at the undercarriage, both brackets look fine. The right one does not look to bent at all but still, that side still sits somewhat low (about 1" lower than the left).
I thought this was a fluke and it would all even out once the wheels were allowed to droop once the front end was being supported by jack-stands. It didn't, the right tire does not sag as low as the left. This make sense: someting's wrong! What is happening?
