Hi all,
I have a 73' Duster 340. It recently started sitting low in the front left to a point where if I turn the wheel it catches the fender. Initially I thought it was a bad torsion bar but I can't find any issue with it. During that inspection I found my shocks were shot so I upgraded both to QA1 Drag "R" Series Stocker Star Shocks.
I tightened the Torsion Bar Bolt 3 turns on the left side. After, each wheel measured 2.5 inches from the top of the tire to the fender. Given that was plenty spacing I took her for a ride. When I got back it sagged on both sides to just about .5 inches between the tire and fender (a little to close for comfort).
I cant figure out how to keep it up at that 2-2.5 inches above the tire.
Do I just increase the shock stiffness or continue to increase the torsion bar bolt until it rides higher? Any help would be appreciated.
