Has anyone really counted the # of turns they gave each Torsion bar bolt to get the front stance where they wanted it. Just courious, my dart is a 340 car with the 383 bars in it for anti dive in the harder turns. Once each bolt started in the threads, I marked the bolt heads and turned each one 24 turns. It sits level on both sides, but would like to crank it up a bit more. Just wondering where you all have set yours. Thanks  |

Keep crankin' them up. Don`t forget to give the front end a bounce before checking . Chryco  |

Measure from the floor to bottom of ball joint and bottom of lower control arm@ torsion bar adjuster.
Make sure both sides are the same after raising.
And like he said, stand on the front bumper and jump up and down before measuring.

I had my camber get all screwed up by raising the front end up too much with the t-bar adjusters.
Anyone else?

With the 6 cyl bars in the RR it put the top of the adjusting nut about 1/2" up inside the LCA. With the OEM bars it was about flush with the bottom of the LCA. The Dart has .890 bars with a SB and the adjusting bolt face is about the thickness of the head of the bolt out of the LCA.
After adjusting, I've found the bounce method to be a bit unreliable. After I drove the car it settled even more so now I just drive them around the block and recheck it from there.

I haven't adjusted the Scamp, but my Mazda pickup is the same way. I have to drive around the block to really settle in the adjustment. |
