The old struts were obviously weak and it's almost certain the torsion bars were tightened to compensate before I bought the car. My new struts cause the doors to fly open like a rocket, and that's not the struts' fault. Quite frankly I can't imagine why anyone would crank up the torsion bars to save a measly hundred bucks on struts. Anyway, after I reset mine I should never have to touch them again - just replace the struts when the doors start to sag. Thanks to everyone for your input. I have the tools and info I need to get this done, and my helper is coming over this evening. With any luck I won't be back here begging for a new rear windshield and/or torsion bar later tonight. -Ryan To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
