Re: IML: torsion bar adjustment

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

Good advice. The bar won't go anywhere when it snaps so there is little risk 
of injury from the bar itself but the car will drop nearly to the ground. 
I've had two bard snap on me so I NEVER stick any part of my body under my 
car (particularly the front) without at least placing a jack stand under the 
bumper.

Friends:
We have had reports of torsion bars snapping over the years on the IML.  One 
would want to make sure one's head and upper torso were well away from the 
bar should it snap.  Also, since the car tends to drop to the frame when the 
bar snaps so it is a good idea to make sure you have your car well supported 
with jackstands whenever you are adjusting a torsion bar.

Be safe out there.
