IML: '60 Height Adjustment

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,
Congrats on the successful height adjustment. A lot of cars get lowered by 
previous owners as it is the current fashion trend. There is a specific 
torque resistance that can be measured with a torque wrench on the 
adjusters. This resistance is what keeps the adjusters from turning and 
losing adjustment.  What you described sounds about right with it turning 
easy with a long bar but a torque wrench test would answer the question. The 
FSM describes this and the torque spec. They do drive a lot better at the 
correct height. I'm glad to hear it's sitting proud once more.

I was warned by a couple members not to strip the fine threads of the bolts
and the swivels since they normally are very dificult turn.
Guess what ?  They were both quite easy to turn, ok I needed a large bar for
my socket to turn those adjuster bolts but was still able to turn them with
one hand only!
