Good Morning,
I am planning to get my teener's front end aligned this Saturday and I have a some concerns and questions. It seems to me that my front end is to low. The measurement from the “doughnut” is 5 inches, and the back doughnut is 6.5 inches to the floor. I have tried to raise the car with the adjustment screws but at full travel that only raised the car a quarter of an inch. I suspect the PO did something with the torsion bars. Now my questions are: 1- Is this front to back height difference the reason the car “feels” a bit unstable at higher speeds? 2 - Is this 1 ½ difference between the front and back a problem? 3 - If so how or what do I do to get the front end or adjusters up back into the 6 inch range? |

When you get the car up on jack stands, use a jack to lift the arm to release the tension on it. The cap should slide right off with little effort. Then without moving the car or jack, reinstall the cap in the location of your choice. Be sure to put them both around the same location or you will have even more fun trying to get it level.
