How To Adjust Torsion Bars on Dodge Aspen And Plymouth Volare

[@bufords]

thanks for the lesson on these front ends. Got me my first Volare. 1979 Duster, been mostly a chev guy so your info is appreciated, much obliged!

[@dutchguysgarage]

Glad to help!

I’ve got a 56 F100 with a Volare front end…this helped me. Thanks

[@ericcastaneda1135]

[@bluesmoke218]

They came out with this suspension in 1976, on the Aspen Volare' twins.

I wish I would have watched this before I adjusted mine. I did a whole lot of tape measuring. And didn't count the threads. Are you aiming for the same thread count on both sides? When I adjusted mine I ended up not level after I drove it but it was perfect when I left the garage.

[@dutchguysgarage]

Thread count it always higher on drivers side to account for added weight of steering components and drivers weight. Usually 3-4 turns more in my experience

Good info. Keep the vids coming. 👍

[@dutchguysgarage]

Thanks, will do!

I have a 76 Volare Roadrunner with the Petty Street Kit I'm restoring, you mentioned 78 thru 80. I haven't had a look yet but Im guessing same for 76?

I got this front end on a 58 Ford F100 460 big block sitting on it

[@zoldcarsntrucks]

So lousy lowers and tighty raised it ?

[@dutchguysgarage]

That's correct

[@JamesPetit1]

How many threads to gain One inch in heigth would be a good estimate ?

[@bobvanorder1362]

And I got a question if I adjusted this without the engine weight.
Will, it'll adjust all correctly?Because I tried this on my f one hundred truck and one side is lower than the other and I just can't seem to get it the level out

[@dutchguysgarage]

it wont give you what you desire unfortunatly. really need that extra 500lbs

[@bobvanorder1362]

So tell me what will happen if you try to adjust it without lifting the front end in its underload

[@dutchguysgarage]

can snap the torsion bars or damage them just like any other torsion bar

[@steveenczi8967]

Any idea what would cause my gauge cluster not to work

[@dutchguysgarage]

Is it not working across the whole thing or just select gauges?

[@steveenczi8967]

@@dutchguysgarage across the whole thing nothing is working
