Hello 914'ers
I need to adjust and calibrate my front suspension. I installed the new torsion bars while the car was on the lift and it now looks like it could chase a ford raptor through the woods. 1: Is there a procedure for installing these and what angle the a-arm should be at? 2: Should they be done at ride height and then adjusted by the torsion bar adjustment bolt ?  thank you ben |

Bars have to be indexed before installation. Most repair manuals should cover this. Adjusters are just used for minor up or down of 10-20 mm.
