What's involved
What this repair actually is.
Many trucks and SUVs use torsion bars — long steel bars that twist to act as front springs — and their adjuster bolts let ride height be corrected as the bars relax with age. We measure ride height at all four corners, adjust the torsion keys to the correct spec on both sides, and check the front-end geometry. Because ride height changes alignment angles, an alignment afterward keeps tire wear even.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Front end sits lower than the rear
- One front corner lower than the other
- Front end bottoms out over dips
- Headlights aim too low
- Uneven front tire wear
If you delay
A sagging front end reduces suspension travel, bottoms out on rough roads, and wears the front tires unevenly.
