Hey I just had a shop install 1.03 pst torsion bars and they also replaced the shocks. Now my front end sits alot higher. Thing is the adjuster bolt is turned down all the way already. Did they install the bars wrong?
Need some pics.Is it a V8 car?Hey I just had a shop install 1.03 pst torsion bars and they also replaced the shocks. Now my front end sits alot higher. Thing is the adjuster bolt is turned down all the way already. Did they install the bars wrong?
After reading the torsion bar thread below this post. Is it possible they installed the wrong side Left/Right? Motor is a /six 225. Thanks
Thanks just wanted to verify before i took it back tomorrow.

It’s also possible that they “clocked” the lower control arms incorrectly. It’s hard to do with stock lower control arms, but it can be done. That would be a hex flat off, which can result in a very high (or low) ride height and no adjustment left.
Totally agree. That is the ONLY way you'll get that ride height with the adjusters all the way out. I'd take it back to the shop that did it and NICELY encourage them to fix it. My motto is "Always be nice until it's time to not be nice".That is exactly what they did.
The arm swung too low when they slid it in with the t bar, people do that when they can't master lining up the strut rod.
Thought it would be the easiest way to lower the front a bit.YABUT
1.03s with a six; I'm just dying too know why? OK; not dying just really curious.

Took my car back to the shop. They said they'll try but there might not be enough clearance for they LCA.
I wasn't trying to pick a fight; just really curious as to his thinking. I too have the 1.03s
I put 103's in before I had the 440 in actually sat fine and handled pretty well, just saying.......
Are they the older 1.03 bars? Think there was a issue with them clocking. Hey James @PST ?
Older ones had no clocking and were neutral.
It but the car on the bump stops.
This is true, the OP didn't say & may not know what era PST bars these are, and the shop could possibly be correct..the bump stops may have to come off/be modded.Older ones had no clocking and were neutral.

Don't forget, the slanty ain't exactly light, and worse, it's longer. The mass actually centers farther forward by a bit over a smallblock, so if hard cornering/stopping onYABUT

At least the OP is armed with some info now...................
