lowering

[jayhull22]

just had my mot and the rear axel needs replacing, i want to lower the axel so it doesent look odd but im not sure of the height, for 1 notch on the tortion bar how many mil does it adjust it by

[Ciarannn]

isnt it like 1 notch is 30mm 2 notches is 60mm ?

[jayhull22]

im not sure lol, what if you wanted it 40 mil, how would that work, i think mines 40 at the front

i'm sure there are 2 methods to lower a torsion bar, either notches where you have to go 25mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm ect and the other method you can get an accurate height aka whatever you want and i'm sure the 2nd methods is better for your bearings

[jayhull22]

how does the other method work, just get the height and knock the tortion bars in or something

[craig1gk]

i'm really no sure, want to know the answer myself, sure you get the height you want and set it somehow

[jayhull22]

lol, thats the prob i dnt no how to set it, i bin told loads of different messurments for each notch and not sure which 1 2 go by, its a bit of a pain reli, its eitha replace both bushes or the axel, its cheaper and easier and quiker to du the axel

[Ciarannn]

the 2nd method you take the bar out and set it to what you want
thats how i had it done and give you piece of mind knowing you havent bodged it

[jayhull22]

what so pull the tortion bar out set the height and then just push it back in, or do i have to twist it a bit till it goes in
