• Torsion bars must always twist in the direction it originally twist. When twisted in opposite direction car will begin to sag and loose ride height. Torsion bar will also loose ability to crisply rebound.


• RF & LR Bars can be exchanged.


• RR & LF Bars can be exchanged.


• Leave a gap of 1/16” of free play between stop and torsion tube bushing. To allow for torsion bar to wind up without causing a bind.


• Torque pinch bolt to 20 ft/lbs on all aluminum arms and stops. Over torquing will distort splined hole making installation and removal difficult.
• Torque pinch bolt to 30 ft/lbs on all steel stops.


• Leave ¼” maximum of free bolt under stop to allow for adjustment. Anymore than this could cause failure to adjuster bolt drastically changing setup.


• Use thread lube on all pinch and adjuster bolts. A dry fastener cannot be Properly  torqued.


• Grease entire length of torsion bar. Leaving center of bar dry can cause excessive friction as bar winds up and bows and rubs against inside of torsion tube.


• Replace torsion bars every 20 nights to retain a crisp feel. Torsion bars don’t last forever and eventually become slow in response, causing your car to be lazy and non responsive to adjustments.


• Replace torsion bars after a hard crash. Hard crashes can wind your torsion bars past there yield point causing a permanent twist in your torsion bar.


• When cleaning torsion bars inspect for nicks and cracks and shiny spots. Shiny spots can indicate a bent torsion tube which can cause binding and friction. Nicks and scratches will lead to permanent bar failure, replace torsion bar immediately.


• When installing torsion bars it’s very important to make sure they spin inside the bushings with ease. A torsion bar that is hard to turn could be a bent torsion tube or bent torsion bar. A bent torsion tube will not let the bar wind up correctly as it will first bow the bar then start to wind up. Discard bent torsion bar


• Always when cleaning torsion bars, inspect torsion stop pad to make sure it has not dimpled the torsion tube. If you can feel a dimple inside the torsion tube, the stop pad has failed and will cause the torsion tube to bind up on the torsion bar.
