I realize you were able to compress it, but perhaps something happens to lock it up somehow. I've never heard of this so following with interest.
My shocks do look very old but when I was able to get everything working again the rebound was spot on. You did make me think of something though. To get the torsion bar out I had to remove the front mounting bolts on the A-arm. When I went to put everything back together it was very difficult to get the A-arm bolts back in because the holes wouldn't line up. I had to compress the bushings in the A-arm with some vice-grips in order to put in the front mounting bolts. I believe the holes not lining up is due to the fact that I had the front pan was replaced recently. Could the compressed stock rubber bushings really lock up my front suspension? Is the front end of a 75 Porsche 911 really that light? If this is the problem I could just make the slot on the front mounting location of the A-arm a little longer.
