88 chevy silverado torsion bar suspension. Can it really affect steering that much?

I have an 88 chevy silverado that has the torsion bar independant front suspension system. I realized the other day that the left side of the truck was sitting down about an inch farther than the other side. I got to looking and the adjusting bolt on the torsion bar key was way off of adjustment. I realized that this could be the whole reason my truck pulls so bad to the left. I was just wondering if that really could be the reason, and yes I did adjust them so they were the same and it really did seem to help. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Answer:

if your torsion bar is out of adjustment this can cause a pull because it alters your camber and if the camber is altered then the toe will also be affected. If you really want the issue to be solved adjust your torsion bars as close as possible by measureing the gap from the top of the front tires to the fender take sure you are level. Then get an alignment to fine tune the front suspension. This should do it.
