Can anyone advise me, I have removed the rear axle to replace the fuel lines and brake lines buried beneth, whilst I have the axle removed I have decided to have it blasted and powder coated fit new bushes and refit, I have since found out that I could seriously screw up the ride height and stance of the car if I reassemble the torsion bars incorrectly into the axle, apparently being 1 tooth out could affect the height by 5mm, and could take days to set up, as I have not yet stripped the torsion bars out does anyone have experience on this matter or any sugestions

mark them prior to disassemble number jonny five?

I know Clarks has a very good section about lowering the rear suspension by reindexing the bars but it also covers how to make a little reference plate so you know where everything was when you took it apart.

Dave,

Found the link you recomended very usefull, have printed of the 14 page document, settled down to digest before the strip down.

Cheers Steve

14 pages!

I think I'll let you read it and then ask for a hand if I ever have to remove mine.

How did it go,we always mark ours with bright orange paint!!
