Rear Torsion Bar Adjustment

Post by senseless.apprentice »

A few months ago I had a reconditioned axle fitted as the wheel bearing was literally in peices!!!

anyway, all is well with that, but after a few thousand miles I get what can only be described as a "high pitched metallic ding" when going over anything higher than 2 inches or making a hard right turn.

Im told that the torsion bars need adjusting as the axle has now "bedded in" - though how true that is i dont know.

Can anyone shed some light on it - purrrleeesss!!

Doesn't sound right to me ... sounds more like they haven't tightened something .. but I'll ask around another forum ...

Assuming that they fitted the new axle correctly, three responses I've had on another site are suggesting the anti-roll bar is knocking.
