What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,654 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region  |
Follow your torsion bars back and at the end you will see a bolt that can be turned. Turn one way, car goes up, the other way, the car goes down. I want to say it is a 13mm bolt....

11mm bolt. or 8mm allen / hex key
Lift he front of the car up till the wheels are nearly off the ground. I use a 2x4 across the torsion bars. Floorjack in the middle PB Blaster is your friend Clockwise is up Counter clock wise is down. Get the same amount of threads sticking out the adusters each side set the car on the ground. Bounce and roll car back and forth to settle shocks. measure and fine tune the side you need to change. DO NOT go too far. A-arm level to the ground is the LIMIT. You are really stiving for 1/8 to 1/4" lower by the front measured at the donuts. |

After you have reached the desired affect in front you can adjust the camber
so your tires don't wear funny on the way to have it aligned. On top of the shock is an adjustment plate, loosten the allen bolts alittle and move the plate/shock towards the outside. Move it a 1/4" and step to the front of the car and eye ball them from a distance of eprox 20'. When they look vertical tighten the allen bolts and get it professionaly aligned asap. |
