Evan's Hummer H2
Tightening the Front Torsion Bars

The front end on my H2 has always been a little bit lower than the front. At first, I liked it this way, but lately it's been bothering me. It was about 16 inches to the bottom of the rockers in front, and just over 17 inches to the bottom of the rockers in the rear.
So I tightened the torsion bars five turns on each side and got another inch under the front edge of the rockers and improved my front clearance too. If you switch back and forth between the first and last pictures, you can see the difference. The tricycle behind the truck wasn't moved between these pictures. The second image is an animated GIF that cycles between these for you. The third picture is a 50/50 blend of the before and after. I'll drive it a bit and get an alignment real soon once the front end decides where it likes it with the new torsion bar positions. This change will affect the camber and toe and can stiffen the ride a bit as well. |
