Lower Front Beam
Hi Guys,
I noticed in Wrecker Racer in this months VWMA that they only fitted a adjuster to the top beam.
Any thoughts on this?
Cheers

Doing so will put too much pressure on the torsion leaves in the beam without the adjuster. Spend the extra $50 and do both beams.

I have heard of fitting two adjusters and then using the two to fine tune both the height AND the spring rate by adjusting them against each
other....
But dirtbag has it - use two.

I have heard over the years of people only doing one adjuster...
I can't see how one would really work...
its just loading up against the other one...
I think I only adjusted one of mine to start with..
and teh front end was like it was SOLID.... terrible..
You do need the two....
