My Hoe has been riding rough lately so I took a look at the front end and my mind was blown. One bump stop broke and is barely dangling on, both control arms are pushed against the bump stops, one torsion bar is cranked quite a bit, and for some reason somebody has been putting grease under the bump stops. Not to familiar with torsion bars and ifs since all I've had is older Chevys and fords. Can somebody tell me what's wrong? Sunlit I know you gotta know something. Pics:

Apparently too old. Just took one off and pressed it down. Wouldn't spring back up. I'm guessing that's the problem. Gonna get new Skyjackers and poly bump stops next week. Hopefully that's all that's wrong.

Got Pro Comp ES9000s for the front. Fixed the problem. They're ok but really stiff since they're off road shocks. Will post new pics later. Kinda wondering why this thread got moved to street suspension since this is more of an off road truck but oh well.

My '05 is basically doing the same thing. I'm hoping it wasn't the tbars being worn completely out. Looks like new shocks will be my first attempt to correct it.
