Measurement
1. Check the tire pressure.
2. Equipped car (without load, with full fuel tank) install on a flat and horizontal surface.
3. Measure the distance between the base and the bottom of the body in front of the rear wheel.
4. Before measuring, you should rock 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 cars with a sedan body, the value is 210 mm, and for cars with a station wagon body, it is 232 mm).
7. The difference between the values for both sides should not exceed 7 mm.
Basics of adjustment
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. The adjustment is made by changing the length of the device installed in place of the shock absorber.
Adjustment method
1. Measure the height of the body suspension.
2. Mark the position of the torsion bar relative to the lever with two punches.
3. Remove the torsion bar (you should not remove the stabilizer, but you must unscrew the lever mounting bolts).
4. Adjust the device installed in place of the shock absorber, lengthening it to increase the height of the body suspension or shortening it to decrease the height of the body suspension (1.5 mm on the device corresponds to 3 mm of the body suspension height).
5. Install the torsion bar. By rotating the torsion bar, it is necessary to find a position of the splines in which it freely enters to a depth of 8–10 mm. The signs must be moved by the corresponding number of splines (one slot corresponds to 3 mm).
6. Check the height of the body suspension.
