 Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2023 12:30 pm Post subject: Indexing the rear torsion bars |
 |
|
Between my Type 4 engine and the years of driving, the rear of my 73 Squareback is sitting kind of low, and of course, the driver's side is lower then the passenger side. It' something that I have been putting off, but now I want to get it right.
What I am looking for is a chart that says: IF YOU MOVE THE INNER SPLINES X, AND THE OUTER SPLINE Y, YOU WILL GET THIS MUCH CHANGE.
I know That I have seen one here before, but unfortunately, I didn't save it.
Thanks for your help

My 67 was sagging on the rear driver side.
I just raised it 1 inner spline and it was level again!
You can go back and lower it 1 outer spline if necessary, but I didn't need to.
