Torsion Bar

[rowhard]

I guess my mechanic has never seen a VX before. I want to raise it a bit and have considered a lift kit but really don't want to spend the money. I have some 15X8.5 aluminum rims that I like. I don't really like the stock 18" wheels. TOO CHROMEY!!!

Well, if he ever worked on a old VW, he would know about torsion bars. Anyway, you can do it yourself, just follow the bar back and you will see the adjuster. Wire brush all the crud off, give it a good soaking with liquid wrench, or blaster, or your perfered lub, (wd40 will evaporate) the day before, measure the gap you have between front tire and cladding, both sides, mark the adjuster bolt to keep count and go for it, then take it in for an alignment
