H3 Suspension Problem?

[gmpartsdude]

Good Evening All,

I just picked up my 2008 H3 on Monday with Adventure Package. I was cleaning it up today, etc... my driveway kind of goes a little on a slope into my garage. I was walking from the street up to the garage and I noticed it looked like the drivers side was sitting a little lower on the LH side.

A few minutes ago I confirmed this with the tape measure. I understand I can adjust the torsion bars back there. Maybe I can adjust the torsion bar to fix it? It doesn't appear the shock is broken.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Gene.

tbars adjust the front of the truck...not the rear.

But I have never hear what RYD stated.

Believe it or not I did do a search and not just on this forum, but another. I also did a google search.

After looking last evening the whole LH side, both front and rear are lower than the RH side.

I guess I need to adjust the torsion bar?

Since it is supposed to be on this site... any links?

I just did a quick search for you for lean, tilt, slant in the H3 Forum.... took about 1-2 min

So sit back and relax.....

Crooked 2006 H3 - driver's side sits lower.

common problem! Make dealer fix it as it requires an alignment after adjusting front torsion bars!

Your t-bars will adjust the front end. If you look under the truck and the lefthand side torsion bolt is adjusted all the way up then you need to back it out till you have 1/2" of thread. Check the right side and if it is not up all the way then your in good shape. You need to back off until the truck is level. Every 10 turns bounce the front of the truck up and down 4-5 times this will allow the torsion bar to settle.
