At the end of each torsion bar, there is a right angle bend and a short stub extending beyond the bend. The stub is 2 or 3 inches long, and it is supposed to be tucked into and through a bracket on the frame under the trailer. If the stub comes out of this bracket, then the torsion bar will not lift the shell on that side, which would result in the shell coming up at a cockeyed angle. Same thing would happen if the adjustment bolt has fallen out of the bracket. Maybe one of these is doing it?
Same thing would happen if, at the other end of the torsion bar, the lift arm (the white rectangular box beam) slipped down on the torsion bar. This would be more obvious, though, because the shell would be very crooked when raised.
