Re:[T3] Raise it up.


The angle finder is an absolute must when doing the rear end. The half degree difference in the inner and outer splines will cause many a headache as well as make your car to sit lopsided. Rememmber to take a reading before you "unload" the torsion arms so you can do the math in calculating your final degree setting. ( I think it is 1/4" difference in height for every degree you change). Other than that doing all four wheels is a good afternoons worth of work. I just did all four yesterday. A certain vw related magazine  covered it a few years back, I don't have the issue date with me now but contact me off list if you need to know.
