Default Torsion bar suspension

Looking for some ideas on who in the Saint Petersburg, Florida or Pinellas County, Florida that is recommended who can work on adjusting or replacing the torsion bar suspension in my 1976 Corvette.

Any ideas?


I notice a large dust on both rear quarter panels and then I had a flat rear tire with a almost perfect circle on the inside of the rear tire. Looks like a adjusting screw or something was rubbing right into the tire.

I have never seen this before on a tire so any ideas of what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance! :}

I was thinking MOPAR - not Corvette!
