Re: [DML] plans for torsion bar adjustment jig

["vin00538" <lawrencesr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Torsion Bars should not be adjusted, these are factory set & the only thing that you 
can do is replace the strut if it's sagging, in the cold the strut will sag in the heat it will 
expand & not sag. if you do any thing to the torsion bar you must be prepared to 
spend the extra money to replace the broken torsion Bar, windsield or the back 
window " depending on which one brakes when torsion bar gives way. this has been 
posted quite a few times as this was the worst thing someone came up with as torsion 
bars are even more scares & expensive due to this bad adjustment.
