Hello,

I am considering to replace my spring plates with adjustable spring plates when I index my rear torsion bars. After doing a search I did not find any info for a Thing. Does anyone here use adjustable plates?? If you do how do you like them and what make/model are they??

Thanks, John

If I went through the trouble of re-indexing again I think I'd go with adjustable unless there was a compelling reason not to. My car has a pretty easy life. I have only adjusted one side and found it was a long day of sweating and swearing but it was my first go at it.

Technut,

When you did your re-indexing did you need to remove the brake drum or disconnect the CV joint?? Any tips you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks, John.
