Torsion Bar Spring Height

  1. Park vehicle on level surface. Jounce vehicle several times and allow vehicle to return to settled position.
  2. On 2 wheel drive vehicles, measure buffer clearance between rubber bumper and lower control arm. Using bolt located on height control arm, adjust buffer clearance to about 0.866" (22 mm).
  3. On all models, turn adjuster bolt on torsion bar until riding height measurement is to specifications.
    NOTE: Rotating bolt inward increases vehicle height.
