Hello,
I've just bought a 1970 Cal import westy :D
The van has been lowered, front and rear - however the front is too low............ for the roads round here!!!!
It has an adjustable front beam, but I have no idea how to raise the van. I believe it is a sway away type adjuster?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is currently in a friends workshop..........

Cheers Childsey

try this link, its installation but will also show adjustment, if your raising the grub screw should always go in the opposite direction, so move it downwards

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Adjustment is made by loosening both jam nuts (#1) and the socket set screw (#2 or
#8) with the block (#3) on it. Turn the adjusting socket set screw (#2A) to your desire
position and retighten the set screw and both jam nuts. If you have more than one
adjuster in your front end, either in a widened beam or a stock width beam, make the
adjustments all at the same time. Torque the socket set screw to 30 foot pounds and
the jam nuts to 55 foot pounds.
NOTE: Your new Sway-A-Way adjuster, when set in the middle, w8ill give you 20
degrees of adjustment up or down, for a total of 40 degree of adjustment. In terms of
ground clearance, this is about 2” up or down, or a total of 4”.
