7. Hex End Clocking
Since the Hotchkis torsion bars are larger (stiffer) than most stock bars, the hex ends may be clocked
differently compared to the old bars you had. Please note that these are performance torsion bars suited
for a car that is intended to be lower than stock.
8. Install Hotchkis Torsion Bar
Grease both ends of the torsion bar as well as the control arm cavity and cross member cavity. Insert the
torsion bar in the same manner as removal, starting from the rear and working your way forward. Using a
floor jack, raise the suspension on the side you are working on to line up/clock the control arm cavity with
the hex on the torsion bar.
9. Replace Retainer Clip
Once the bar is completely positioned and seated, insert the retainer clip into the crossmember cavity.
10. Set Adjuster Bolt for Initial Setting
Tighten the adjuster bolt under each control arm to about ½ to ¾ of it’s travel. This should be a good
starting off point.
11. Lower the Vehicle
Lower the vehicle back onto the ground and roll the car back and forth.
12. Adjust Ride Height
Adjust ride height to desired height. Keep in mind that these torsion bars are meant for lower-than-stock
stances.
13. Reinstall Upper Control Arm Droop Stop
Access underneath the front fender again and reattach the droop stop snubber.
14. Perform front wheel alignment
It is highly recommended that you perform a front wheel alignment once you are finished. Excessive toe-in
or toe-out as a result of the initial ride height change can cause the vehicle to raise or lower as you move
forward or backward. We suggest 1/8” of toe-in.
