Very stiff front suspension

I just didn't think it was normal to push down on the front of the car and it stays where you pushed it to, or pulled it up to.

This would be a completely different question....
Are the torsion boxes rotted out? Which torsion bar is on which side? There is a left & right to them. I don't know why the car would stay down if pushed down, or stay up if it were pulled up.
