During reinstallation of removed torsion bars, what is correct?

When reestablishing the tension on torsion bars after removal, it is crucial to ensure that the final adjustment of the suspension system is performed correctly to maintain proper alignment and handling characteristics. Adjusting the torsion bars upward helps to restore the intended ride height and allows the suspension to operate effectively, ensuring optimal performance and stability of the vehicle.

Torsion bars are designed to provide a specific amount of resistance against compression and tension, and their adjustment can influence the overall geometry and operation of the suspension system. By making the final adjustment in an upward direction, technicians can effectively compensate for any sagging that may have occurred due to wear or previous adjustments, leading to improved handling and tire wear.

The other options may seem like feasible solutions, but they do not address the best practice for maintaining proper suspension geometry. Replacing the torsion bars is unnecessary unless they are damaged, reinstallation on the opposite side is not a standard practice as these components are specifically designed for their original side, and turning them end-for-end could negatively impact their performance and response.
