Re: I need to raise the front end of a Dodge 330

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hay Brian,
I am of the "nose in the air" generation.  and love it that way. Altho it 
probably hurts the curve handleing---but I am more of a straight line guy. . 
It is very easy to adjust your height. Under the lower control arm, there is 
a long threaded bolt with a hex head facing downward. The nose of that bolt 
presses against a levr that is attched to the front end of the torsion bar. 
Jack up the front end  till tires are off the ground. use a temporary lube 
like WD 40 on the  long bolt threads ( that is your adjusting bolt) Turn the 
bolt in ( clockwise) to increase ride height.  do this to both sides.  When 
you do this , you will mess up your front end alighnment. . You CAN raise 
the front end so high that ithe alighnment can;t be set correctly.  Probably 
would be a good idea to write down the number of turns on each adjuster so 
you can go back to a previous setting'

Your car looks GREAT, I really like those cheater slicks with the pie- 
crust.........................MO
