Anyone got info on torsion bar specs for 2001 2.0hdi ? When I bought the van (Nu Venture Surf Motorhome) the suspension was very low at rear. In fact the wheels were rubbing on the wheel arches.
I fitted MAD spring assisters which have lasted 5 years and remember seeing mastic smeared around the ends of the bearings when I fitted the springs.
As wheels are straight and axle operates without creaking n groaning, I’ve deduced that at some point the rear axle has been rebuilt. I’m also convinced that whoever did it didn’t set the ride height correctly or the torsion bars are weak.
So I’m thinking of biting the bullet and trying to get the torsion bars out either to replace them or to set the ride height properly.
Any advice on this greatly appreciated. I’ve watched numerous videos on YouTube ( including some in French) so think it’s within my capability.
Regards
