Re: IML: A-arm Bushings and Torsion Bar Adjustment

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,

I am not a suspension pro too, but I think you are right here. To force the 
frontend up higher by rotating the adjusters on the T-Bars there must be 
some kind of prentension I guess to prevent that the car sits low.

But I am sure there are some suspension experts on the list that can shine a 
light on this subject.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Rob
