This may be a really dumb question, but the front end of my car really need to be lowered and the adjusters are rusted stuck. Ive tried everything, penetrating oil for days on end, locking pliers, bolt out on a ratchet. the allen is rounded out as well which makes matters worse. I saw a picture of the torsion bar and adjuster out of an a arm, is it possible to pull the torsion bar and adjuster or should i just pull the whole a arm off to work on the adjuster part?
If i pull the a arm, i take it that means i need a front end alignment done, right? Heres the picture i saw, that made me wonder if the adjuster and torsion bar can come out with the a arm still attached to the car jmmotorsports = i hope you don't mind me using your picture for some help (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-6658-1246635808.jpg) |
