| You may have to re-adjust the rear ride height. This is a fairly difficult and in depth procedure that requires you to remove the rear torsion bar on each side and adjust them via the inboard splines, I.E.: If the car is sagging, you need to adjust the torsion bar clockwise on the driver's side and counter-clockwise on the passengers side, to "bring it back up". This may sound easy, but it isn't. It is very difficult to set the bars "just right". It requires a suspension protractor and ALOT of patience. You could just do it by trial and error, but that will prove to be VERY frustrating and time consuming. The torsion bars tend to sag with age and cause the symptoms you are describing. The only proper way to fix it is by re-adjusting the bars, but for a temporary/easy fix, buy a pair of "overloader" shocks. That will bring her saggy ass back up in the air. |
