TORSION BAR ADJUSTMENT

I havent read every word of this thread so if it has already been discussed I apologize.

I agree with BluNblu that the spring rate does not change.
However it is a lot like a rocker arm and I have to wonder what effect the angle of the adjusting bolt to the lever has on the force applied to the torsion bar ? The fact that the aduster anchor can pivot may nulify any effect ... hmmmm????

None. It has no effect at all.

The adjusting bolt does one thing, and one thing only. It sets the angle between the adjusting lever and the body of the LCA. Once the weight of the car is on the suspension, the LCA and the lever move as a single unit, twisting the hex end of the torsion bar. The angle of the bolt, or how far it’s threaded in or out of the adjuster has no effect on the spring rate at all.
