Raising the back end torsion bar adjustment

[c5 swh]

Im trying to raise the back end a little bit on my 5.

I removed torsion bar, then i thought it was a case of lowering the axle a bit then put torsion back in.

The problem i got is the axle dont seem to want to drop any, when torsion bar cones out it stays at sane height.

What am i doing wrong? Do i have to pull the axle down then put torsion bar bsck in? I would struggle to hokd it down and get the bar back in.

Any ideas?

Have a look in there, obviously it's how to lower but just spin the ends the other way to bring it up :)

So is it all about rotating the torsion bar and refitting??

ive also undone the shocks so rear beam is just hanging, but no matter what i do when i put it all back together and drop it down it sits and same postion:crap:

If you are doing it correctly, then your shocks must need replacing :confused: as the T-bar acts like a spring, so can still over flex if the shocks aren't doing there job. :agree:

Remove both bars and the torsion bar should drop. You need to measure arch to hub, add on the amount you want to raise the car by and then refit the bars
