Re: Torsion bar adjustment

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

If your door sags that much chances are a torsion bar adjustment is 
required. Try removing the strut after proping open the door, slowly 
lower the door and it should remain open 2-5 inches. If it does not DO 
NOT attempt to adjust the torsion bar yourself. There are many owners 
in Ohio and the surrounding area. You should be able to find someone 
with the tools and experience required to help you. You may have to 
wait till a club meet but you will not be happy if you attempt to do 
it yourself and damage the car and maybe hurt yourself in the process. 
You could try switching the struts from side to side, it is possible 
to have a bad strut however unlikely. Look in the old posts there are 
many references to the struts, torsion bars, doors, and adjustments. 
There is an excellent article on adjusting the torsion bars in an old 
Delorean World.
