It does make sense that it's the driver's side.


I have some more information. There is a rubber bump stop (some call them "overload") that are missing from the front. When installed there is maybe a 1/4" gap from the a-arm. I installed a new set and it took a lot of the issue away. However the bad ride quality is still there. We believe that since they were missing this is what allowed the torsion bars to be over worked. I purchased a used set that have 77k on them for $130/pr. New ones were $230/ea. I am installing them tomorrow night, so hopefully this solves the issue.
