Shouldn't it take more than a couple foot pounds to crank up a torsion bar? If mine's too lose, is there any way to make it tighter? I've raised that same side 2 or 3 times over a few years. |

I'd try some red thread-locker - loc-tite or equivalent. Comes in a small tube at any auto parts store. |

I'd use blue myself. red is really strong and if you ever needed to adjust or remove it would be really hard to get that bolt out |

make sure its the bolt backing out and not the torsion bar continuing to twist up. had that happen to a vw buggy in the desert one time. torsion bar broke on the left and all we could find was a right one. had to adjust that thing about 6 times because it unwound and wound back up in the other direction. there are companies that sell new adjusting bolts and blocks. maybe its time... zedpapa |
