Has anyone adjusted the torsion bar bolt (to tighten) and it has gotten really tight, almost positive stop, with about and inch of threads left? Trying to get the front end of this wagon to an ok ride height. The passenger side was sitting on the k member bumper and the driverside was about an inch away from k member bumper when I got the car. I turned both sides in 4 turns in the method shown in the video with no weight on the tires and now both sides are sitting about 1 1/4" off the k frame bumper. That's after a 15 minute drive and pushing down on the front bumper a few times. The upper control arms are still pointed upwards, which leads me to believe I need to raise the front of the vehicle a little more. Curious how much more lift would come from about 1" of threads left on the torsion bar adjustment bolts? Is there a possibilty that the torsion bars were pulled off and not clocked correctly when re installed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
