Measurement
1. Check tire pressure.
2. Curb car (no load, full fuel tank) install on a flat and horizontal surface.
3. Measure the distance between the base and the underbody in front of the rear wheel.
4. Before measuring, shake the car to relieve tension in the suspension.
5. Take three measurements and determine the average value.
6. Determine the average value for both sides of the car (for sedan cars the value is 210 mm, and for combi cars it is 232 mm).
7. The difference between the values for both sides must not exceed 7 mm.
Adjustment Basics
1. The adjustment is based on the rotation of the torsion bar. Moving the torsion bar by one spline causes a change in the height of the body suspension by 3 mm.
2. Adjustment is carried out by changing the length of the device installed in place of the shock absorber.
Adjustment method
1. Measure the body suspension height.
2. With two strikes of the center punch, mark the position of the torsion bar relative to the lever.
3. Remove torsion bar (do not remove the stabilizer, however, it is necessary to unscrew the bolts securing the lever).
4. Adjust the fixture installed in place of the shock absorber, lengthening it to increase the height of the body suspension or shortening it to reduce the height of the body suspension (1.5 mm on fixture corresponds to 3 mm of body suspension height).
5. Install torsion bar. By rotating the torsion bar, it is necessary to find such a position of the splines in which it freely enters to a depth of 8–10 mm. Signs must be moved to the appropriate number of slots (one slot corresponds to 3 mm).
6. Check body height.
