Almost all of them are .5 - 1.5" low up front on the driver side. All it takes is a Torsion Bar adjustment, a 11/16" size Bolt to tighten. Measure both sides, and adjust the low side up to even. Search for more info. Here is a thread link where I hooked up a bunch of reading.

Ok, so I'm getting somewhere here. First, I was looking for the socket size, since I don't have one that big. It is a 1 1/16 socket?

Now, I have verified that the whole LH side is lower than the RH side. So, I assume if I crank it up a little bit the LF will come up the same as the RF and then the whole left side will be adjusted?

Thanks, this is the best help I've found everywhere.

Suspension Problem?

Before I posted this in the forums... I figured there's already probably enough smart people about this vehicle here to answer my question.

I was Zaino'ing the H3 today... , etc... my driveway kind of goes a little on a slope into my garage. I was walking from the street up to the garage and I noticed it looked like the drivers side was sitting a little lower on the LH side.

A few minutes ago I confirmed this with the tape measure. I understand I can adjust the torsion bars back there. Maybe I can adjust the torsion bar to fix it? It doesn't appear the shock is broken.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can't be sure from your post, but maybe the rear is off too?

If you are off when checking the rear, there is an issue with the rear leaf springs sagging to the left. If the measurement from the rear left is lower than the rear right, (shouldn't be more than 5/16"). you may have this problem also. It's a simple fix. Just loosen the leaf spring shackle nuts, then shake the crap out of the rear, jump on the bumper a few times, maybe drive around the block, then tighten the nuts to 63 ft/lbs.

Ok, so for the H3 torsion bar adjustment, do you need a 1 1/16 socket or a 7/8 socket? HELP lol.

I'm not suggesting "cranking", only adjusting as much as necessary to level it.

Thanks to all and thanks for the socket size.

Unlike most here, I think it looks fine if it sits a little higher in the rear so I don't intend on cranking it several times.

The problem is it looks like someone from the biggest loser is sitting in the drivers side and it looks like the vehicle is broken.

I'll have to work on this. I'll let you know the outcome.

It's good to see you guys cleanning up the sight by taking out the trash. some think your a dik on this form, and they don't know yet that it's MR. DIK.

keep up the good work. its because of you and the other mod/adm. that keep this forum true.
