[QUOTE="cyberdyne systems, post: 228033, member: 4231"] Hi, its because the inner and outer splines are different that you can make smaller changes. By turning the torsion bar (the inner splines) a certain amount and then by mounting the spring plate (the outer splines) that you get a new height or angle if you prefer. If you have lost the factory setting then your instructed to use a protractor to set a certain angle to restore this. If you still have one side attached and have lowered the spring plate off the step then you could use that as a reference to setting the other side back up and copy the angle of where the spring plate sits (off the step) by turning the torsion bar and mounting the spring plate until its the same. Of course you could set it roughly if you've lost the angle both sides by having the spring plate about 3 - 5 mil below the step, do this both sides and put it all back together and see how it sits with its wheels on. Its sounds a pain to do it by trial and error but its not that big a deal to undo it all once or twice to get it sitting right. [/QUOTE]
