nosedive

hi all, been driving the 1974 scamp around before the teardown, when i exit the roadway into a lot, the car nosedives and bottoms out in the front, havent had it up on a lift yet to check it out, if my torsion bars are good, but have bad shocks, would this cause this, or vice versa ?!? new to torsion bar front suspension, hoping this is something someone has run across, moneys tight for build up, at least my hopes are high, thanks in advance, nosediver
When we first got our 67 Dart some one had lowered the front end down to the stops. (Looks Cool) We had the same problem. Set the torsion bars to specs in manual and put on monroe gas shocks. Everything fine now and there is about 1-2" of space between the stops and rubber bumper. Good Luck!
