June 10, 201411 yr wasn't there a thread about how to adjust the ride height on a brat by about an inch or two, by adjusting some bolts around the torsion bar? I can't seem to find the thread if there ever was one dedicated to just this subject.
June 10, 201411 yr remove the lock bolt, beat the torsion bar out with a hammer, clock the trailing arm in the direction you want, line up splines and force the torsion bar back through.
June 10, 201411 yr Author remove the lock bolt, beat the torsion bar out with a hammer, clock the trailing arm in the direction you want, line up splines and force the torsion bar back through. Is this for the rear only, or is it the same process for front?
June 10, 201411 yr Rear only. You have to build angled strut toppers for the front Is this correct? Both my '78 wagon and '80 Brumby have adjustable front struts. Two bolts on either side of the strut that adjust the sping perch height. They were standard fitment on late Gen 1 and most Gen 2 4wd models. I thought the US would have had the same setup? Although at full height adjustment the front suspension angles are... A bit like a bandy-legged giraffe!
July 8, 201411 yr Some have adjustable struts yes, but its better to build toppers Rear only. You have to build angled strut toppers for the front Could you please enlighten me a bit more about the "angled strut toppers"? Perhaps there is a good thread on this? I lowered my Gen-1 two door sedan but it sat on the strut bump stop rubber, I cut the bump stop down but its no good as it bangs hard on potholes :-(
