Excellent, really good information and really good explained how to finish the job, this will help me to adjust my Montero sport uneven height problem, thanks for good video.
Good man ted.never had to do till now.an had a feeling not as simple as to just tighten them up.as if one wanted to be the king of steel he be a torsion bar. an hat off to you well explained. G day mate.👍
Thanks for video. Made job easy. BTW I also used a 2x4 on bottle jack as well and for info the jack will shoot about six feet across the floor if it slips off.
Hey, Great video. exactly what i needed to know. will reindexing the torsion bars allow me to get a bigger lift in the front than just adjusting the back of them.
Would indexing the splines be reversed for a right hand drive car I live in the AU and I was wondering if this could give me some extra height just a bit more than what’s current
Hi! Thanks for the video. Small question though. On my car, front tires are wearing more on the inside. Does the height of the front affect how the pressure is applied on the wheels under load? Or is that totally unrelated? Thanks, Sybren
Sybren Vanheeswyck yes when you raise the front it effectively shortens the tie rods making the car toe in. So you’ll need a wheel alignment to counteract this.
Hello! love the video and gives me confidence. here is my question. I am in the states, and have a 1st gen Montero(as known here) and I just got a new lift from Old Man Emu.... I guess I am just more curious about replacing the bars rather than indexing them.... I cant seem to find any info. do you know... will I need to align them a certain way in regards to marks from OME on the ends of the bar? or is their orientation not so important if I am replacing the whole bar?I just can not find any videos about actual replacement, only indexing existing bars...
srennocleinad the bars should be marked left and right. And if Gen 1 is same as Gen 2 then they will only fit one way as the spline size is different front to rear.
Thanks for this video mate. I've got a Mk1 LWB which I'm gonna do this with and I heard you mention that yours was sagging a little in the rear. What's the simplest procedure for raising that up? Thanks from Ireland.
ShitAbysss if your torsion bars are sagged, which they probably are, you run the risk of maxing them out (running out of bolt thread) but you could always try just winding them up first.
How does this affect ride quality? Does it put any additional load on the torsion bars? I am worried this will increase the rotational force of the torsion bars and snap them. Thanks.
Mudd Blood I’ve had 7 Gen 2 Pajeros. All modified. I’m in the Pajero club and I’ve never heard of a torsion bar snapping. Winding them up does increase ride stiffness however.
I didn't really catch (silly me) was this procedure for lifting your front end or lowering it? I have a problem with my Pajero; I guess the previous owner had it lifted to the top as much as he could and therefore the suspension is very hard. I mean when I hit a pothole or a bump it really feels like it could drop my teeth out. So I think I should lower the front end to make it a bit softer, right? Thanks for the video, it was really helpful. Very good camera angles. -Jussi
Tsouns1 this is for raising or lifting. Depends on which way you go with the bars. Most times when people raise it but don’t trim the droop stops (bump stops on underside of upper control arms) the car is sitting hard against the rubber stops giving that hard ride. If this is the case cut them off at half way.
Very nice video, congratulations. Interesting for the same job I would like to do on my L200 pickup. All the mechanics seem the same and you made everything very clear, but for my very bad English, I didn't understand how you adjusted the heights between the two sides. In practice, the 6 laps you did do, how much difference do they equal? I understand that you have to make several attempts to get to the right setting, but if you can write like this I understand it better. How many lines do you think I have to move? I would just like to recover the original height, because I believe that after 18 years and 500000km and the front car looks very low. Little off-road, a little dirt and a lot of motorway, the bars have given up the tension, I often hear unnerved. L200 2002 model 115CV turbo diesel 4d56 engine Thank you. Alessandro
Alessandro Trigilio hi there. I used a tape measure from the bottom of the wheel arch to the top of the wheel rim. I make sure both sides are the same. But then I make the drivers side approx 5-10mm higher to allow for drivers weight.
I have a 98 nh paj and i was wondering if this will only raise the front? as i have heavy duty springs on the back and it looks lifted from the back and stock in the front so i was wondering if this could equal out?
If the front is only a bit down from the back. You might not need to re-index. You might have enough adjustment to just wind them up in their current position
Have you checked the camber angle of the wheels after having done this? reindexing the bars for a front lift has this consequence. you need to correct the camber by shimming the A arms.
If you mean the electronic dampers I’m not sure how long they are so yes you can do this but I’d leave the upper droop stops full length to avoid over extending the shock.
Thank you for the video! Just one question. If I understand corectly, you can make minor adjusments just by tightening the thingy (15:30), you don't have to take the whole torsion bar out? My Pajero sits 1.5cm lower on driver side (34cm passenger, compared to 32.5 driver side), so maybe I could just tighten the torsion bar on driver side? And if that is not enough I just turn the torsion bar one or two slots? Sorry for my bad english, again, thanks for the video.
You can buy coil spacers. I could only find 30mm for Pajero. I bought Y61 Patrol spacers and had an engineer modify them on a lathe. Best option is either lwb springs to raise a swb 2” or standard Y60 patrol springs to raise lwb by 2”. I have a video on coil spring swap
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 thanks for the reply bud. i have a LWB so i ll try to find patrol springs. another question, to index the torsion bars do i need to do the ball joint spacers? i m still not that into ball joints etc hah
So... No fresh grease in the front torsion bar boot? Why did you need to do this? Just for a video or was there an issue? Good clear home video though.. Thanks.
damage1_1 why did I need to re-index? Because you can only achieve a certain amount of lift by just winding the bolts in the stock position. And the grease thing is not an issue.
Mate I’ve been running 1 tooth up on the bump stops since I watched this video years ago with no problems on both the Mitsubishi I’ve had and love it however I went and cut my bump stops and maxed out my bolts on the weekend now I’ve got some noticeable camber. My question is how many mm shim do you have in your Pajeros with shaved bump stops/balljoint spacers?
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 I’m pretty sure I’ve got the shorter top arms than the 2nd gen Pajero should’ve mentioned it’s negative camber I’m dealing with not positive camber noticed there’s two shims already in there hopefully I’ll be able to remove them?
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 thanks mate that sorted the camber took a couple minutes also backed off the bars few turns but noticed the tracking of the front wheels is in 1” give or take. thought maybe 25-30mm front bolt on spacers?
Hey mate, what's the difference between re indexing the torsion bar from the front versus the rear? I've seen a video of a guy installing a torsion bar on a pajero but he adjusted the splines in the rear instead of the front, any differences?
I work for a mechanic shop that used to do mobile inspections. When they stopped the jacks were surplus to requirements and were getting thrown out. So I got lucky there
Thanks for reply! Just a quick question though, I have a 2006 mazda b2500, If I wanna just adjust the ride height on the front to make even, should I just tighten each bolts on the back clockwise and then re check? Thanks for your help @@PERTHSCOOTER07
That block of wood between your jack and the torsion bar seemed a bit sketchy because it added another pivot point. Why not put the jack straight up to the bar? I saw it shift once... Great video though, thank you.
I'm not sure why you did screw the torsion saddle back not in to the same position before re-indexation. I thought that is the idea of moving torsion for 2 splines (or so) to screw torsion saddle back into original position what will make chassis lift for 2 inches (or so). I am about to lift my Pajero for exactly 2 inches and if you can explain me this I'll be thankfull. Thanks!
Eger Theis hi there. Moving it by 1 or 2 splines does not give an exact amount of lift, every car is different. The idea is to allow more torsion to be applied which gives it more lift. How much lift exactly is trial and error. You just have to keep winding / measuring until you’re at the desired height
jeffrey ortiz-luis yes no problem. The suspension will sag over time, so if it’s sagged by an inch and you want 2” lift, that 3” all up. To wind the torsion bar bolt enough for 3” lift you’ll probably run out of threads and end up winding the bolt shoulder hard up to the nut. This is when it’s likely to snap.
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 Got it, no its not max out yet, still got plenty of room to wind it up, i just raised it to clear my bigger tires to avoid rubbing on the corner bumper plastic on extreme cornering and dips. but yes if the saddle bolt is maxed, its time to index the torsion bars.
@@ani095 sometimes it can depending on if they’re wound up and not reindexed. And most common is being wound hard against the droop stops. Makes it very bouncy
It's funny cause if I heard anyone talk to themselves like that without a visual of the camera, I would of said the same thing...damn near thought you lost your marbles.

Awesome video but tbh it looks tedious to achieve since you need to jack the car up and down after each adjustment. Congrats on that mate!

Thanks for video. Made job easy. BTW I also used a 2x4 on bottle jack as well and for info the jack will shoot about six feet across the floor if it slips off.
Warren Montgomery yes. I need to up my health and safety game.
Mine slipped that's why I know the travel distance and it wasn't yet under full torque. May others be more cautious.
Hey, Great video. exactly what i needed to know. will reindexing the torsion bars allow me to get a bigger lift in the front than just adjusting the back of them.
Yes it will mate. Make sure you cut down the droop stops to avoid maxing out your down travel.
I kind of liking the "interruption" as it makes this video in a real life situation. Dont get angry at your daughter pls.. she is precious..
Hey mate love the video thank you :) just curious did you put more hight in the torsion bars eventually or ?
Yes I did. Didn’t need to re-index. Just wound a bit more
Would indexing the splines be reversed for a right hand drive car I live in the AU and I was wondering if this could give me some extra height just a bit more than what’s current
This is a rhd car. But no different for lhd cars.

Hi mate. Easiest way would be 30mm spring spacers. Available on eBay.

ShitAbysss if your torsion bars are sagged, which they probably are, you run the risk of maxing them out (running out of bolt thread) but you could always try just winding them up first.

Nice video mate. How many splines would you go from a stock set torsion bar? Looking to go around 2"
Grim DM if the front was level with the back go 1 spline. If it’s sagged which is very common go 2
Awesome thanks mate.
hi mate do you
put balljoint spacer b4 reindexing the torsion barr?
khira vic yes mate, so you can wind the torsion bars further for more lift.

HI i fixed my 2 inches lift kit to Pajero and still the front side is bit lower than the rear side , how to level up this thanks
Have you cut down the droop stops (upper bump stops). If not you can only go so high before you run out of travel
How much lift do you get by turning the torsion bar per notch? What is the maximum you could go?
You can get around 2.5” more if you remove upper droop stops
It have upper ball joint spacers or long shocks?? Thanks
The car in the video doesn’t. The car in the thumbnail has flipped and spaced balljoints

If the front is only a bit down from the back. You might not need to re-index. You might have enough adjustment to just wind them up in their current position
Adromegona Games yes this does front only. Rear height is set by the springs.

Have you checked the camber angle of the wheels after having done this? reindexing the bars for a front lift has this consequence. you need to correct the camber by shimming the A arms.
I have. It was in spec. If you lift them massively or flip / space the balljoints then it throws the camber out a fair bit
If the high of the car different by 1 inch will the car have problem in alignment?
Yes. The toe alignment gets knocked out of alignment when height raised. Won’t be massively out with 1” lift
Dose that work by the Pajero 4?
There are no torsion bars on a Gen 4 Pajero.
if it is the lift what did you do in the rear?
I’ve used lwb springs in swb and patrol springs also. See my other vids.
hey, was just wondeing what bull bar you have on it
It’s a Parkside alloy bar in this video
Is this proper for the pajero with dampening system ?
If you mean the electronic dampers I’m not sure how long they are so yes you can do this but I’d leave the upper droop stops full length to avoid over extending the shock.

Кристиян Георгиев here in Aus we usually buy second hand Nissan Patrol Y60 or Y61 springs. The Y60 give around 2”-2.5” lift and the Y61 2.5”-3” lift
I got my answers. how many splines max can you index without other mods like brake lines etc?
I’d recommend 2 you possibly can go 3 but might struggle to get the bolt back in.
hi, great video. how are you going to adjust the back please? using coil spacers? thanks
You can buy coil spacers. I could only find 30mm for Pajero. I bought Y61 Patrol spacers and had an engineer modify them on a lathe. Best option is either lwb springs to raise a swb 2” or standard Y60 patrol springs to raise lwb by 2”.

So... No fresh grease in the front torsion bar boot?
Why did you need to do this? Just for a video or was there an issue?
Good clear home video though.. Thanks.
damage1_1 why did I need to re-index? Because you can only achieve a certain amount of lift by just winding the bolts in the stock position. And the grease thing is not an issue.
Can the torsion bars be wind up without re indexing them first? thanks
Sydney Cornish yes. But only if you want a small amount of lift. Maybe if they’ve sagged and you want to level the car out.
ok thank you. Did you have to shorten your bump stops?
Sydney Cornish yes. The upper bump stops (droop stops) have been trimmed right down.
Is it necessary to add ball joint spacers before re indexing ?
No. It’s optional to give more down travel.

will it work the same for my Gen 3 Pajero
No sorry. Gen 3 uses mcpherson strut type (Springs and shocks)

@@sillywilly9183 yep remove and reassess. When you flip and space them it gives too much positive camber

Hey mate, what's the difference between re indexing the torsion bar from the front versus the rear? I've seen a video of a guy installing a torsion bar on a pajero but he adjusted the splines in the rear instead of the front, any differences?
No difference at all. I just find it easier to pull it out at the front. Same outcome either way.
PERTHSCOOTER07 Righto, do you have an idea on how high will it raise with 1 spline?
Mario Carino not sure. If you’re just raising a sagged front go 1 spline. If you have 2” lift or similar go 2 splines.
PERTHSCOOTER07 Awesome! Did you need to get it aligned after the reindexing?
Mario Carino yes. Lifting the front makes the wheels toe in. If you can pay extra get the camber re-shimmed also.

I work for a mechanic shop that used to do mobile inspections. When they stopped the jacks were surplus to requirements and were getting thrown out. So I got lucky there

Thanks a lot!
Just for viewers info, you can raised the front 2in easily by winding up the long bolt without reindexing the torsion bars.
Correct. But be very careful not to max the bolt threads out. If it snaps whilst your tightening, good luck.
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 sorry, im from California, i did not understand the snapping part, can you re phrase it.
jeffrey ortiz-luis yes no problem.
The suspension will sag over time, so if it’s sagged by an inch and you want 2” lift, that 3” all up. To wind the torsion bar bolt enough for 3” lift you’ll probably run out of threads and end up winding the bolt shoulder hard up to the nut. This is when it’s likely to snap.
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 Got it, no its not max out yet, still got plenty of room to wind it up, i just raised it to clear my bigger tires to avoid rubbing on the corner bumper plastic on extreme cornering and dips. but yes if the saddle bolt is maxed, its time to index the torsion bars.
nice video, i just broke my torsion bar. whats the benifit of lifting torsion bar?
It allows for more ride height
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 it also makes ride harder?
@@ani095 sometimes it can depending on if they’re wound up and not reindexed. And most common is being wound hard against the droop stops. Makes it very bouncy
@@PERTHSCOOTER07 what is droop stops?
is it torsion bolt?
It's funny cause if I heard anyone talk to themselves like that without a visual of the camera, I would of said the same thing...damn near thought you lost your marbles.
😂
Lol aww ur kids hilarious
Your daughter 😂😂😂
It's needs to be less on the drivers side to cope with the camber in the road
