My old man just brought a 91 Pajero 2.5 diesel, the front seems to sit a bit lower than the back, do they have a torsion bar you can crank up or something to make it sit a bit higher? any ideas? and if it does how do you do it?
Never had a front independant 4WD before so dont know much about them!!
Thanks!

91 Pajero, front torsion bar wind up???
Moderator: -Scott-
yeah they do have a front torsion bar ... if ya with them up to far the cv will fuck up .. so be careful... wat ya can do is put balljoint spaces and save winding them up so far and will still get good lift... if not suport the front end end remove them and just rotate them down 1 notch and save puting so much stress on them..... need and good wheel alignment to if ya wind them up ... get the camber to straight as u can or even + 0.7 saves the cv to...
Ball Joint spacers will not lift your vehicle!
What you want to do,is keep your current torsion bars just as they are but wind them up a bit and this sets the base level that they sit ie an inch or two higher.
To adjust them, crawl underneath and have a look at where they mount to the chassis, behind the gearbox. All they do is work like a lever, there is a lock nut on the top (between body & chassis).
Undo this, jack the front of the car up, wind the adjuster (on the underneath) and you will see the arm on the end of the torsion bar moving up. Do it say 10 turns and do the other one the same turns.
Count them so you know where you started incase you wind them up too far. Lower the vehicle, go for a short drive to settle them and admire bhow easy it was to lift it. O and don't forget to tighten the lock nut again.
Unless you are getting into drastic modifications such as ball joint spacers, cut bump stops and big tyres, your CV's will be more than fine.
