rear suspension "sag" after winter storage
Hello,
My right-rear ride height changed after storing my 911 for 6 months, very little clearance (maybe 1" from the tire to the inner part of my fender). I replaced both rear shocks as I assumed they were the culprit, even though only the right had the probelm. Unfortunately, that didn't resolve the problem. I'm wondering if this is common or if I have to look at replacing the torsion bar as well. Any tips on what to look for w.r.t. torsion bar wear or known suspension problems after storing for long periods of time would be appreciated. Thanks! J.

Did you check your tire pressure, it does change over time and tempurature.

torsion bar is what I'm thinking is the likely next thing to replace. What else would cause the ride height to change that much.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a closer look at the torsion bar this weekend...
