Default Re: Phil/Paragon: Steering issue

I also think one of my torsion bars is under more tension than the other one. Whenever I cranked the bolts, one side was much much harder to turn than the other.

Besides checking the height of the frame from the ground, is there a more accurate way to check the adjustment? Turning the TB bolts the same amount of turns does not seem like it would cause both sides to be the same as they probably have different spring rates.

Since I noticed one side was much harder to turn, I think one of the TBs is at a much higher rate than the other. This coupled with the soft shock setting.

Any ideas on checking tension between the two TBs? Maybe an old style torque wrench with a spring loaded pointer?
