CaveVan Stuff / Lift Kit effect on other components
« on: February 10, 2018, 08:42:20 pm »
Checking in with Cole mostly to see if I can expect any adverse effects from the 1.5" kit I installed today.  I'm leveling out the van tomorrow to a bit nose down.   I feel like this could pull on the axles a bit.   I have fairly new Bilsteins that I think should be OK.

Thoughts? 

Thanks!

Westfalia / Seized torsion bar nut
« on: September 26, 2017, 07:56:44 pm »
Hoping Cole can weigh in on this.  Right side nut on the torsion bar is seized.  Tried PB Blaster, a torch, air impact wrench.  Noting moving.  Left side is fine.  Jacked van up on stands and gave it 2 hours of my life.  Trying to level the van.  Front is 2" lower than the front.  Want to raise the front a little over an inch. 

Has anyone had to remove and replace the torsion bar bolt?  I suspect I can get a new one in OK but I'm not sure I'll have enough room in there to get a new one into the torsion bar and into place in it's notch in the frame. 

Thanks for your help on this.
