Torsion bar sag and aftermarket keys, not the usual questions
My gals 04 edge was just in for an allignment and to have some new tires mounted. The shop said the allignment isnt set right (camber is out of spec, negative both sides) because the torsion bar adjustment bolts are maxed on the drivers side (i think). He mentioned using aftermarket keys to back the bolts out to factory spec and then tweak for proper allignment. Before you jump down my throat about how bar they are, i know they arent much good but for a twmporary fix until the funds are available for coilovers its the only option i have.
Anyone experience this before? I dont wanna wear a new set of tires and if they work for a temporary fix im all for it. Coilovers are definatly on the list of to dos just need to save for them.

To get the bars out from under your truck, you need to remove the keys. It's not any harder. Once the keys (stock or aftermarket) are out, it's nothing to pull the bars.
I also have a set of 1's. But I'm in Canada.
