torsion bolts

[Reit38]

i know torsion bolts never are equal but just thought that this was kind of strange with CCM keys install. truck sits perfectly level with the fatory rear block
40.25

Drivers side

Pass side

your one bar must be shot.

 

[marc]

yeah that does seem a bit far off definitely possible though if one torsion bar got weaker faster over time

 

[Reit38]

keys were installed 3yrs ago and i swear everything was level then
anyway/anything to check to see if bar is shot?

 

[mike.]

Mine was dead level, one was threaded further than the other, but for sure not that much.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A

 

[Cleanoh4]

Mine is level at 38-39" I think but my bolts are like 3/4" & 7/8"
Like Bryan said one of your bars are likely worn out

 

[Huck]

Agreed. They're always different but not that much, mine were within 1/4-3/8" of each other

 

[Ginger]

that one bar must have gotten a hard hit, or hit more potholes, or had a worn out shock on it.

they are the common things to wear a bar out.

 

[Reit38]

shocks are factory as far as i know, look like it anyways. rides just find tho :uhohshrug:

dont know if its really worth spending the money to replace the bar and get another inch or so out of it or just leave it. could be sending truck down the road in the next year

 

[Ginger]

if your sending it down the road next year i wouldnt worry about it unless the ride gets very bad

If its not broke dont fix it. :lol:








But if it starts getting all loose like a goose then tear it out and replace asap. :imo:

how is it gonna get loose?

do you know what your even talking about.

He was saying it rides fine now and I was speaking for any wear item that would affect the torsion bar.

I should have said if the ride gets loose or worse then replace necessary parts.

 

[Ginger]

torsion bar wont effect the wear or anything but ball joints and CV shafts.

and since he said the truck is the same height on each side there is nothing excessive to wear, as both of those go out because of excessive angle.
