I need some schooling on torsion bars.
I have a 69 dart gt. Originally a 273, and the PO put a 318 in it.
I have no idea if the torsion bars were ever changed.
My question regards my front end being uneven.
The driver's side sits lower than the passenger side. I've made sure the car is on even ground...tires are equally inflated etc.
So....does this mean I need new torsion bars, i.e. they've lost their support ability?
Do I possibly need to "tighten" them up?
I have no idea about adjusting them...can they be adjusted or do they just get replaced as they wear out.
Are there any specific tools I need in order to tighten or replace them.
I apologize if these are stupid questions. I'm just not familiar with maintaining or working with torsion bars.
Thanks.
