Hello,
I'm currently doing a few jobs on the front right suspension on my GMC Safari AWD (91).
So far, I'm pretty pleased with myself having dismantled the brakes (need to replace pads anyway), driveshaft (gaiter replacement), and I'm left with a lower control arm that is only held on by the torsion bar, here's a pic showing that...
How do I disconnect the torsion bar so I can take the lower control arm out? I can't figure out how its put together properly, and this is unchartered territory for me.
I was unscrewing the torsion bar adjustment bolt the other end, but didn't finish this, not realising what it did, but have since found out thanks to the interweb, so when I re-assemble everything, I'll need to re-adjust this to match the other side I suppose.
Also, are there any pointers I should know? None of this is covered in my Haynes manual. All help appreciated.
