Navara torsion bar questions
Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 10:20 pm
Can someone help me out and answer a few questions about torsion bars?
It seems my torsion bars have sagged on my D21 navara, so i want to raise the front back up to match the rear.
When i looked under the car, the torsion bars are at completely different adjustments - is this normal? One of the bars has almost no adjustment left and the other one has about half of the thread left!
I have been doing a bit of reading on this site and have found that on some cars you can 'reindex' the torsion bars to put the bar back into the right range of adjustment - can you do this to D21 bars?
If not i suppose i'm looking at a new set of torsion bars, what would these be worth roughly? can anyone recommend a good brand?
Torsion bar suspension is all new to me! Hopefully they aren't too diffficult to remove/install/adjust! Any tips would be great!
