I need to adjust my weltmeister adjustable sway bar to help tighten up my front end (the PO installed it). So before I go out and start adjusting the bar I would like to know the best way to do it. Is there any tension on the bar already so when I loosen the bolt to adjust it I get smacked? I have scars on my hands from this type of thing before and as I get older it takes longer to heal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Is it just a matter of gaining access, loosening up the bolt and sliding the clamp? I have not had to do this before so any help is welcome.

Thanks

Depending on how stiff the bar is, you may have to loosen both sides first, then slide the droplinks.

There shouldn't be much pre-load on the bar, plus the thing is held fairly captive by the nuts & bolts, so nothing should go flying around to smack you.

I'm off to go do this exact thing to my car...
