So, i was baacking out the driveway when i heard a big "clunk". I pulled back in the driveway and my passenger side front was low! I looked all around to see if anything was broken but i found nothing. Then i checked my torsion bar bolt and it was loose. I found a jack and tried to screw it back in but it just bottoms out. What does this mean!?!?

Sounds like the key or the bolt may be stripped or even broken.

First time I have heard of that happening, although I am sure it probably has before. I am sure one of our wiser members will chime in on this. If you dont have a alpha and you do wheel and you have to replace them, I would replace mine with the alpha torsion bars...
Wondering of the possibility that the T-bar may have "skipped" one position in the lower A-arm. I know mine look as though there is a lot of clearance between the od of the T-bar and the hexed id of the lower arm. Unlikely scenario but stranger things have been known to happen to our 3's.
Im thinking it skipped too. I just had to get another catalytic converter and the side was lowered. Im bringing it to dealership tomorrow hopefully they can look at it the same day.
