early a body torsion bar ?

The adjuster is usually pretty far out, maybe 1.5 inches showing? Te farther out it is, the lower the front suspension will sit, you can screw them in to raise the front suspension to spec. Usually the driver side is a smidge 'tighter' to compensate for driver weight. 1st pic looks pretty stock , 2nd pic would be loosened to lower front end. The whole front suspension rests on these 3/4 hex bolt struts! Picture the torsion bar socket attached to the thin metal between the LC stampings, they are seperate and can rotate independently. The adjuster hits the torsion bar socket strut (red portion in pic 3) and the square metal 'nut' holds the LCA. If your adjusters are removed then the socket may not move with the LCA as its bolted through to the K member as shown in pic 3. you can loosen this bolt and the whole socket will move freely. Remember to tighten this bolt once at ride height!
