[DMCForum] door adjustments... actually De Lorean related...

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

I have no idea who told you that shit with the 12...14 inches.
actually it's 2-4 inches !

anything else is way overtorqued and I wouldn't be surprised
if they would break with that load !

Actually I can't even imagine how one could set them so strong ?!?


2..4 inches !
the rest is set with the struts !
Get yourself adjustable struts and you're fine.

I can't believe that people still mess around with the torsion
bars. With those settings the doors must open and close like shit
and not nice and smooth as they were desgined to be like.

Ok, so I was comparing cars today with another owner and have two questions.


1) How do you tell if your torsion bars are adjusted properly?  I have heard
you need to remove the strut, release the door, and it should rise on its
own about twelve to fourteen inches.  Is this true or is there a better way
to test?

2) Where the forward end of the torsion bar enters the door hinge on the
driver's side, should it fit perfectly?  I remember reading about someone
who stated their torsion bar looked like it was about to spin inside the
forward hinge.  If the torsion bar looks like it is slipping inside the
hinge, would the best thing be to replace that hinge or is something else
amiss?

Thanks in advance,

Greg
