I think I got the problem solved.

I took the VX in to the shop to have them lower the torsion bar, do an alignment, and balance the tires.

My results.....

VX looks much better now that it is level and not constantly looking like it is going up hill.
I have almost a 1/2 inch gap now under the bump stops.
No rubbing from tires after a minor grinding of hidden cladding corner.
While aligning, they discovered the front wheels were "Pigeon toed" (Left tire going to the left, right tire going to the right) when the wheel was straight. When they tried to fix that, they were unable to loosen the jam nut on the tie rod because it was rusted together. I watched him try EVERYTHING to get it loose. So they order the parts ($350 plus labor on top of other alignment and torsion bar fixes) and should be fixed today.

I have owned the VX for about 48 hours and have already had to spend about $500 and it looks like I may have to have a mode selector switch put in. I hope this isn't an indication of my future expenses.
