Torsion Bars & Spring Plates: Installation

  1. Position crossmember tube so that flat surface of torque strut is horizontal. Using Protractor (VW 261) and a straight edge, measure any deviation from horizontal and record that figure.
  2. Add 23° to recorded figure for setting spring plate angle. Set protractor at indicated angle and turn spring plate or torsion bar until bubble in level is centered.
  3. Install mounting flange, using rubber lubricant, using short bolts, until the long bolt with stop washer can be inserted. Install mounting flange-to-torque strut bolt temporarily.
  4. Compress spring plate with floor jack or Compressor (VW 655/3). Install spring plate stop washer and tighten bolt slightly. Remove compressor, allowing spring plate to position stop washer. Tighten all flange bolts.
