Just wanted to tell you that I drove around with misadjusted torsionbars in
the rear, just because I thought it was such a *pia* to do the job, and I
didnt want to do it again. Finally, I had to fix it, and dropping the car
3/2 in the same process. It was kinda ok to drive with, but the left rear
did bang a lot easier (expecially after the bump stop fell of due to rust).
The total height difference was at least 1.5", so you should see it clearly
if this is the problem with your rear suspension.
