Hi Everyone,

I have a very strange problem happening to my stock 1975 Porsche 911 S that I am hoping someone here can help me solve. The front suspension has no travel. Literally it won't go down an inch. After working on the rear brakes and fuel system for a few months I took the car out for a test drive and the front suspension felt very stiff and rough. I tried pushing down on the suspension and no travel whatsoever. I jacked up the car and disconnected the front shock and compressed the shock and it did compress all the way. With the car on jack stands if I try and jack up the front bake rotor the whole car just raises off the jack stands and the suspension won't move even with the shock disconnected.

I took out the left front torsion bar, inspected it, cleaned it and greased it. I thought that maybe the torsion bar was rusted inside the A-arm or something but it was fine. My torsion bars are stock 19mm by the way I measured one. I put everything back together last night and the suspension had travel again and on both sides even! It was great and everything was good!

Today I went to go take the car for a spin before I played with the front suspension ride height and once again the suspension has zero travel. How can this happen?

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers!
