Alfetta GT ride height adjustment
Hopefully someone is wide awake enough (had their coffee) this Monday morning for higher math and just happen to have a Cray computer near by.
At the moment my right (pasenger side) suspension is removed. There is (was) a 11/16" difference (measured from floor to center of wheel opening) from side-to-side with the driver's side being higher. 11/16" equates to 18 mm (+/-). Since the driver's side is supposed to be higher (how much?), I pulled 2 mm out of the air as the difference, so I want to raise the right side 16 mm.
The June '79 Alfa Owner (when talking about lowering the car) says for each spline (moving both ends) equates to a 1.25" variation in ride height. That would be 10.66 splines.
I'm willing to throw in a bit more height to the left (driver's side) and round it off to 10 splines that I need to rotate the right torsion bar (both ends) counter clockwise looking from front to back.
I truly need verification of those figures/thought process, since I have not the slightest desire to take it all apart to 'try again' in this heat. Your astute input is most appreciated.
