To perform the work described below, lift the vehicle at the front and place it on stands.
To install the torsion bar correctly, it is necessary to mark its position relative to the height adjustment lever and the lower wishbone. You cannot use a center punch or chisel for this.
In addition, it is necessary to measure the protruding portion of the torsion bar adjusting bolt thread according to the illustration.
When installing, ensure that the resulting value of the bolt thread protrusion is maintained.
Removal
1. Remove the torsion bar adjusting bolt.
2. Disconnect the height adjustment lever from the clamp and remove the torsion bar from the lining on the lower control arm.

The torsion bar mount is shown in the illustration. The illustration also shows the color coding of the torsion bar position.
Note: Torsion bars are marked to prevent confusion. The right torsion bar has an "R" marking on its end, and the left torsion bar has an "L" marking. In addition, each torsion bar must be installed with the marked side facing the rear.
The torsion bar splines must be lubricated with a universal grease before installation.
During assembly, the torsion bar is installed in the transverse suspension arm, observing the markings.
Installation
1. If installing a new torsion bar, place the lever on the torsion bar splines with the bottom side parallel to the top side of the compensation switch.
2. Tighten the adjusting bolt until the threaded end protrudes by the amount measured earlier.
3. Lower the car onto its wheels and "squeeze" the front of the car several times.
4. After this, adjust the clearance as described above. Please note that design differences may occur depending on the year of manufacture.
