Ignore the upper arms. What about the limiter above the torsion arm it is also connected to a torsion bar, what part does it play must it also be adjusted? I'm also having trouble returning the torsion arm to its place there is some sort of ring inside it has to fit into. -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ayres <comwest@well.com> To: type3@vwtype3.org <type3@vwtype3.org> Date: &shin;&bet;&tav; 17 &yod;&vav;&lamed;&yod; 1999 16:42 Subject: Re: ‡%,hering and raising the suspension ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
