Tech Question
Bill Clark, Hamilton, OH, 1969 Plymouth Fury III 383
Rick; New with Mopar; How complicated is lowering this big guy with the Torsion Bar adjustment..with which I am not familiar? Thanks, Bill Clark (ex Chevy person)
Bill, it's not complicated at all...as simple as turning the adjustment screws counterclockwise (the same amount on both sides.) This will affect the front-end alignment to some degree, so it should be realigned after doing this.
Realize that you are, effectively, reducing the suspension's jounce travel. Read: it will be more likely to bottom out. This car be partially compensated for by installing stiffer (higher-rate, larger-diameter) torsion bars (from a cop car, wagon, etc.). Or, just don't go crazy and see how you like it - you can always go home, unlike the old torch-or-cut-coils routine from your former bad habit days.
Congratulations on successfully completing the Chevy detox program!
Rick
