lifting a maverick/terrano by turning the torsion bar

<< < (2/2)

Stumpy:
well i was thinking the same today m8 looking at our nissan after 13 years looks like the front may be slightly lower so might have a fiddle with the bars mself but not too much as  im no mechanic lol suppose if you want to do it and can do it go for it but dont be suprised if things go wrong and if your like me it will go wrong lol why is it always me  but then agen it might not and everyone will want a nissan/maverick :P

windowlicker:
well i havnt tried to raise the front yet and have already snapped a torsion bar :(

redneck:
I havn't got a nissan but i know some Mitsubishis get lifted by this method, i believe (though don't quote me) that a couple of inches lift is ok on torsion bars but more than that can put a lot of strain on other components causing cracks.
hth  :wink:

Stumpy:
:shock:  how did that happen? i got some1 to look at mine and i was told there isnt much lift left in them :?  i havent touched them lol

windowlicker:
it happened when i hit a shallow bump on a local green lane which i use as a sort cut.
after having a closer look it seems to be the adjuster arm that has snapped and not the torsion bar but i am trying to find out if these can be brought seperate then i need to find time to fix it which isnt easy when working 7am till 5;30pm with an hours traveling each way :(

oh and as for lifting the front check this out although i cant speak portugese http://www.afn.pt/english/products.php?offset=15&marca=Nissan&modelo=Terrano II R20 ( De 1996 a 1999 )&procurar=sim#
