Default Ride height mistery solved, sort of.

I've been having problems setting my front driver side ride height. No matter what position I try on the torsion bar adjustment lever it always returns to 24.5". I can set the passenger side fine and I've done it before so I am familiar with the procedure. I have checked the torsion bar splines, shocks, swaybars - everything sees fine.

In desperation - and there is no logical reason to try this - I put a 1/4" metal shim between the adjustment screw and the top stop. Voila, the ride height stays in place even after carefully driving down the driveway.

Now the question, what is the permanent fix? I am thinking about getting a used set of torsion bar, adjustment lever and screw. What else could be the problem? I am stumped.

did you remove the adjustment cap and back the screw down and reposition the cap on the torsion bar so you have max adjustment??
