Title: tortion front
Post by: dragster_john on July 15, 2013, 10:20:09 PM
anyone have an idea how to adjust the tortion spring on a older style car, just seems a little saggish over the years, thanks, :) the second pic is me running yesterday...

Hi John Some are splined at the end where the arms are held on with a nut, if so just remove the arm & install it back on at a lower angle. Others are splined at the center bolt, just remove the bolt and lower the axle while looking in the hole to see if the center rotates. you may have to re drill a new locating hole for the center bolt.

Nice looking car, nice pic indeed. But I'm certain this pic has been Photoshop'd.
