torsion bar adjustment

[darrells69]

Hey guys was wondering height wise where should the frontend be on a 69 roadrunner? Mine looks like it is sitting up higher than it should be. Started to adjust the torsion bars but figured I better get some opinions on here first.

I'm no alignment person. But I think that is the first thing set on an alignment It affects the camber. Right?
Change height change camber.
I'm also thinking that the height will be in the manual, which I don't have in front of me.

I don't have a manual to go by, figured I could find a thread on here somewhere

If I remember correctly, ride height should be 1 7/8" +/- 1/8" between sides according to the original service manual.

This is 72. I've got a 67 and will check to see if it is any different.

Adjusting the height will change camber and toe. Toe change is more important due to tire wear. Always adjust height to what YOU like, not what someone else says. You have to live with the car, not them. I and others measure from ground to wheel lip.

That's how I measured it from my level garage floor to the center of the wheel lip

Apparently the 72 is a little different than the 69's. This is straight out of my 69 service manual showing 1 7/8 ride height.
