Torsion bar sag

How do I adjust them, to bring the front up level with the back again.

Done a search, can't find a proper guide or owt tho

Cheers

Proper way is in the manual.
OR just park up on the flat and crawl underneath with your WD40 and squirt liberally :thumb2 Then crack off the lock nut 19mm Then ratchet away till you get the front about 20mm lower than the back unladen.
You can jack the front up a bit to take some of the weight off the suspension while you work
When you've done tighten the lock nut again, simples :thumbs

Nice one, might start a routine of daily wd40 spraying for a while then

did mine with no wd40 needed

you never need to soak them in wd40, they are always free.

just a quick wire brush an a quick squirt - easy job

Also sprayed all the nuts for the body mounts

Doing mine next weekend on the Rat :sly :naughty

Re-setting it & sitting it 10mm higher than the rear for rock climbing :naughty so the front doesn't ground out

------------------- ------------------- ---------------- -------------

On the Frog ( R.I.P. ) I took the cross member off to reset the bars, then wound them up to there limit, took it for a spin, let it settle then took it down by about an inch. From standard ( & 235/75R15 ) to 33x1250R15 with +2 front shocks I managed to raise it about 3 inchs in total but it flew through idlers

---------------- ----------------- ---------------- -------------

Just winding them up or down should only take 30mins tops :thumbs

19mm socket and spanner needed then?

19mm socket and spanner needed then?

I used a 19mm snap on ratchet ring spanner and a standard 19mm flank drive snap on spanner

Dont think u would get on top of it with a ratchet and deep socket :nenau

 

[Adz]

Yep, has to be a ring spanner / ratchet :thumbs

 

[zippy656]

have to get a ring spanner..

 

[Adz]

It really is if your just winding up / down :thumbs

Re-setting is a bit more involved :thumbs

 

[zippy656]

front is 50mm lower than back, so got to come up at least 30mm.

 

[zippy656]

i just need to get the bottle to go try / do it

 

[Adz]

Its an easy job M8

Just 4 bolts to wind up / down

Zippy, pull your finger out man
Any old spanner will do it, well 19mm anyway, just quicker with a ratchet ring jobbie :thumbs
