Torsion Bar Adjsutment... Screw not touching??

[Johnny K]

Really dumb question, but is it OK if the adjustment screw doesn't even touch the torsion bar??.. Mine is stock, and I have not reason to change it, but for some reason, I think the one side has the adjuster backed off a little to not even touch the bar..

Or is the level adjusted atfactory and it's possible one side may be at the bottom?

Let me know.. I'm curious!

They all vary a bunch, stock, side to side. If it's not touching, the bolt may work itself out. You could remove it. Regards,

Doubt it it'll move.. looks dry and a bit rusted in place.. so what I get from your reply is I have no worries...

If the bolt is backing out the ride height of the front end will drop, your alignment will change, and you will begin wearing the inside of your front tire on that side of the truck. Front end goes toe out.

So as long as the truck looks level (front bumper is level to ground) when sitting on a level surface and you are not seeing tire wear you should be ok.
