I did spray some liquid grease and the noise cut way down. I believe the noise will go away with a few rides.
Now my discovery. When we all made adjustments to the torsion bars, 2, 2 1/2, 3 or more turns, what did we use for alignment specs? Most, like me, will say "the stock alignment specification".
After comparing the "stock" spec to the "Truxxx spec" the numbers are quite different and the Truxxx spec compensated for the additional lift. This would indicate we all have improper alignments with "cranked torsion bars" and stock alignment specs. 
Maybe someone within the forum world can give some expert alignment specs/details for anyone with torsion bar adjustments. |
What are the "new" specs from Truxxx
