Re: torsion bars

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If  you do it on the ground you have the added resistance of the static 
weight of the car added to the torsional  resistance of the t-bar.

That makes it harder on  bolt life as well as your muscles.
If you look at the factory service manual it will also direct you to get 
the wheels off the ground before you turn the adjuster.
You better have a good arm and a strong wrench.
