				shock absorbers?
			 
			Hi all - just wanted some opinions on this one....drove the round trip from Raleigh NC to Myrtle Beach, SC....got back last night....woke up this morning and my front passenger side wheel well is settled in over the wheel.  Thoughts ? I have included shots of the impacted passenger side, plus a shot of the driver side and a front view to show the visible "tilt".

			More likely torsion bar or swaybar.

			I've had totally blown shocks and no visible change to ride height (even hard to tell when street driving honestly. Torsion bar is my guess. | ||

			When you push down on the fender is there any spring to it? Looks like a broken TB to me and it's sitting on the bump stops.

			Had the same issue with my Cabriolet except in the passenger rear. Mine was the torsion bar.

			Yep. It is the torsion bar. You will need a new pair of front bars and new bushings. The bar broke because the bushings are shot and metal to metal rubbing caused it to fail.
