Recommendation: Torsion bar adjustment



Am fresh back from day trip to get torsion bars adjusted (and a nap to
compensate for 4 hours sleep -- hey Louie, can you spell "road trip").

IMHO, this is not an optional procedure. Put it on your short list w/
cooling system modifications etc. Door struts are wonderful, and they
serve a purpose, but they are not a substitute for *proper* torsion
bar adjustment.

Key word here is "proper": this is not a procedure for the novice.
Definitely is not to be performed solo. Risk of damage to car or self
is great -- take the vehicle to a tech clinic or guru.

FWIW: 10 hour freeway burn did wonders for my Volvoized PRV (as did
adjusting back towards original throttle bypass settings -- some of us
don't have the luxury of a Lambda unit and all the things it's
apparently supposed to control). Don't hide your D or let it sit idle
in a garage or barn (or drive it as if it were made of porcelain).
Lot's of opinions about lots of aspects of the car, but I think
everyone can agree that it needs lots of room to run.
