The car appears to sit very high in the rear,

and quite low in the front-

 

For you more versed in the Torsion setup,

is there a problem with this car's suspension?

The secondary leveler bars are wound up by the leveler motor which raises the rear.  They can be manually wound back to a level position then the circuit shut off.  The regular full-length, interconnected torsion bars work just fine without them.  The leveler feature was to return the car to even keel when loaded with passengers and luggage.
