Torsion Bars
- Jack up the front of the vehicle. This helps in removing preload on the bar and allows for removal of the torsion bars.
- Back off adjuster bolt.
- Note the location of the adjuster. This makes indexing easier because you can compare locations of the adjuster.
- Remove rear adjuster or remove the torsion bar from front anchor, which ever is easier for your model.
- It is sometimes necessary to have someone push down on the tire to get the suspension at full droop. This will help to get more adjustment if you need it while re-indexing.
- Reinstall torsion bar or adjuster so that you have moved the rear adjuster away from the adjuster bolt anchoring site, which is usually a cross member.
- Tighten adjuster bolt until preload is felt on torsion bar.
- Let vehicle down and check ride height. If you need more, jack the vehicle up and tighten adjuster bolts until desired ride height is achieved.
- Bolts should be checked and tightened periodically.
