bro my rear wheel position is not very vertically as it supposed to be...its so much open looks like I have 5 tons of weight on my bus but is totally empty. do I need to change the spring plate to align and fix that problem?
I own a 72 VW Bus. I had a hitch system welded to the back end so I could connect a cargo carrier rack for my generator. However, it is now super "back end heavy". I want to try and balance it out but am not sure whether I need to install stronger shocks on the rear to compensate for the extra weight or adjust the torsion bar... any thoughts? Also, are there any special tools required to do either? Thanks!
@buckingbar i believe i ordered it from SoCal Imports.....maybe Vee Dub Parts Unlimited, i can't remember for sure. It does a great job man. thx for watchin'!
never done this on a 1979 but am confident it will be the same procedure.
glad it helped!

Wow, next time USE LESS OF THAT PICK ON CAMERA or put some Bad Company over the noise or something.
@ukgodsavethequeen
glad it helped.....i definitely wanted to cover this because there is not much out there covering this topic
Hambone where'd you get the torsion adjustment tool? Did you fab that, and if so you got blue prints? I need one. Thanks dude.
@smallweights
thx Dave....BTW...how's the weather in the U.K.....it's getting a little cool here!
yeah, sorry about that. Good video, good info. Bad pick noise... but good video, excellent tutorial.
The right tools make the job so much easier. Nice job!
Pry from the top of the plate just in case.
