bottoming out

well i bought monroe gasmatics and they didnt do anything for my prob so can anyone explain how the tbar works or better yet does anyone got a diagram or rotisserie pic

Do you know what size torsion bars you have? Torsion bars are just springs, same as the coils found on other cars but with a different configuration. Movement of the suspension causes the torsion bar to twist, and the spring force of the bar resists that movement. Just like coil springs, they have advertised spring rates, but they're usually just referred to by their diameter, the larger the diameter the higher the actual spring rate. Torsion bar set ups are also height adjustable, and if your car has been lowered using the torsion bar adjusters it may also explain why your suspension is bottoming out. You may not have enough spring rate based on the amount of suspension travel you have left.

All of the torsion bars offered by the factory result in an undersprung front end. The V8 bars aren't as bad, but even they're not really big enough. And just because the shocks are new doesn't necessarily mean that they're the right ones for the job. More than likely though your torsion bars have reached the end of their life span. Check on eBay for Just Suspension's sales, they have their 1" torsion bars on sale on a fairly regular basis. This would not only help your bottoming out problem, but improve the handling of your car overall.
