Thread: '68 torsion adjustment - double checking :D

    '68 torsion adjustment - double checking :D

    I put new Neatrix and banana arm bushings in my '68 a few months back and did a tentative angle adjust to 35 degrees. Got pretty close, but it seems passenger side is at 25" from floor to top of rear fender opening, and drivers side is 24.5" for the same measurement.

    How many inner and outer clicks to get the driver's side up 1/2 inch?

    Side note: Sure is easy to get the bushing caps on if you lube the Neatrix with silicone grease.

    Thanks.

    I think I may have answered my own question. One inner click change one way and an outer the other way changes ride height about 6.5mm according to Bruce Anderson, so I think I need to do two inner clicks clockwise and two outer clicks counter clockwise for 1/2 inch up. That should get it good.

    Let us know. I've got the same 1/2" difference and haven't gotten back to dealing with it. Knowing would save time and hastle.

    2 and 2 worked. But what a pain to adjust.

    Keep in mind you need to have all tire pressures at spec, and also the front needs to be at proper height. It's all part of the equation.

    I'm at 24 3/4" (give or take 1/16") now at each back fender opening, all is well.
