Great Tutorial ! I've got a 69 Dart that needs to have the torsion bars cranked up! Because the previous owner was all about that lowered life, which is fine........ as long as you don't care about getting high centered on a speed bump..... or your driveway.... yeah basically i can't drive it anywhere..
Hey Randy, Nice Video, Check :) My 80 Datsun 720 king cab height is like a 1" or 2" lower on the driver side than the pass side. Is all i do is what your video here shows? I want to bring up the driver side to match the passenger side height. Thanks
So, the FSM says to adjust while on the ground, but I suppose there's no reason NOT to do it this way so it's easier to turn the torsion-bar adjusters... I just re-did my entire front suspension, so that thing is on the floor and it's hard to get under it, so this looks like the ticket out.
@@BlownBudgetGarage Okay, so ROUGHLY obviously, do you know approximately how many full turns I should do to give it a normal ride height from where the adjuster bolt engages the LCA? I know it depends on the bars, weight of the car, all that, but I just don't want to be raising and lowering it every 5 minutes. Just need a ballpark figure. So far, got each one turned 20 turns from where it engages the bar. About ready to lower it to see where it's at. I doubt it's enough.
My hadrt body truck is not the same .RK trying to correct some camber now it turns left all the time and I don't know whether to tighten into loosen it
@@BlownBudgetGarage I actually am going to put your channel on my page. If you are ok with it. I enjoy the videos. I've just been down due to the feeding pump I have to use 12 hours a day
@@BlownBudgetGarage our plan for our dart once I'm unable to drive is to raffle it off and the proceeds will go to purchase mobility devices and give others a little bit of freedom. We actually did a documentary about my diagnosis if you want to watch it. It has won several awards, but mainly want to raise awareness. Fighting MSA Austin Crawford's Story. I think you would like it. Great to see progress.
My adjustment bolt isn't fixed in one place when I go to tighten it it wiggles all around as I'm tightening it. Is that normal? Pose let me know, thanks!
@@BlownBudgetGarage you should change the name to “blue check mark safe space masked up garage”. I’m really glad I’m not you because I’d probably drop the car on myself if that were the case. Keep trying captain try hard.
You forgot tire pressure you can get close to center cap but from the floor. If you got a low tire and ain't coming out true, make sure she's true

Duddie's Adventure oh dang that sucks man lol
Hilarious! I laughed even harder when I saw your jack stand with a good 2" of air space to the frame rail at 3:49 "safety!" "Check!"
Nothing but the best when you come to my channel 🤣
@@BlownBudgetGarage Oh I subbed the second I saw that! Good video too - I have a GTX to adjust.
Measuring to the floor: Structural fabricators
Measuring from the center of the cap: Pipe fitters
lol
Hey whatever works works lol

Always make sure the tires are properly inflated as well. That will change the ride height too
"Start pumpin....Yeeeaaah"
Just trying to keep it fun lol
Thanks for the information! What do you suggest for the rear ride height?
I was wondering the same thing.
Good video I liked and subscribed😊
Safety ??? Why is there a gap on the jack stand?
It’s called comedy

Best way to do it in my opinion. Never had an issue. Nope it works for you too!

@@pdiz I wish I could give you a number but it’s all dependent on which engine you have be it slant or small block. It’s just trial and error.

this guy is funny and knowledgeable love this video
Appreciate that 💪🏼
I missed this episode.

Hey thanks lol
The nose of my '75 Road Runner looks like it belongs on a NASA launchpad. Time to bring it back to earth. Thanks for the great video..
You’re welcome!
Wait would this stiffin the suspension as well? I had a Nissan we did this too and you feel every little bump in the road.
It will soften up the suspension.
My adjustment bolt isn't fixed in one place when I go to tighten it it wiggles all around as I'm tightening it. Is that normal? Pose let me know, thanks!
Anything wiggling around is never normal lol. You ever see something wiggling around on a vehicle, it ain't right
Would raising it stiffen it
Absolutely can, just remember that with any height change you make you will have to adjust any camber changes that will occur.
Dude you know how to do stuff good 👍✅
I just find the easiest way to do stuff is all lol thanks for watching
