a arm angle before inserting torsion bars

[Chris Pomares]

Is there a degree angle the front a arms should be on a 66 911 before inserting the torsion bars? When Porsche speaks of right or left side I'm assuming they are in the drivers seat looking forward.

"Install the torsion bar adjusting lever into the reinforcing crossmember as follows:
a) With the shock strut attached to the transverse control arm, push the control arm down to stop in shock strut (use a tire tool or similar lever) and insert the torsion bar adjusting lever, with the adjusting screw turned all the way back, into the reinforcing crossmember and onto the splined torsion bar end, leaving as little clearance at the lever adjusting point as possible; coat the lever with graphite grease prior to installation into the support arm."

There is a reference to a 20 degree angle of droop of the arms but that is the angle that the arms rest at before you tighten the bushing pinch bolts in an early swb. The bushings only allow a certain amount of deflection of the arm before they tear.

Thank you.
