UTERUS Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Can you explain which bolts you have undone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 this is what he said "you losen of the lock nut then the other nut and that lowers it" i wasnt with him when he was doing it and know nothing about torsin bars haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yea pretty much that, I can't think of much else In that area that will have two nuts. Weird that It aint happening for him, If you really need to, you can whip the torsion bar out and turn It around a spline at a time for more low.

Valiant Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Has he by chance undone the sway bar link rod nuts? Ask him what size spanner/socket he used to undo the "torsion" bar adjuster nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 sweeeet as thanks. he said it dropped like 4cm to start with and wont go any lower and the nuts are still loose and its not hitting anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ah, I got the impression from your first post that It wasn't lowering at all. He should have loosened off the top and bottom arm bushes too so they don't get all twisted to fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 oh my bad forgot to mention that haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 He should have loosened off the top and bottom arm bushes too so they don't get all twisted to fuck. this, the front end will be held up by tension in the bushes=not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
