I certainly would have expected some result, I'd expect the car to come down about three or four inches on that side when the adjuster is taken from right in to right out. So, yes, a mystery given that the front of the torsion bar isn't seized in its mounting (if it had been it would quickly have become apparent that the adjuster wasn't bearing any load) and neither the back of the bar, the suspension arm, or the the shock absorber is siezed given that you can easily bounce the car on that corner on its worn shocks.

But continue to bear in mind that it was the other side that dropped. Now why, I wonder, would that have happened? Torsion bars do age over time, but usually both sag at much the same rate, so what has caused that side to drop?

Do please fill us in when you find either answer.
