Jack up the front of the coach. Place jack stands under the frame where the
front clip bolts in. Remove front wheels and inner fenders. Remove front
shocks. Remove large nuts on axles and remove axles. Remove cotter keys
from lower ball joint and loosen the nut. Install torsion bar tool and
tension it until adjustment bolt and nut are free. Now there is no torsion
on the bar. Separate the lower ball joint from the lower control arm.
Remove bolts and nuts that hold lower control arm. Pry lower control arm
loose from frame tabs and pull control arm and torsion bar forward until
bar separates from pork chop . Install in reverse order.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car, understeer is
when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Hp is how fast you hit the
wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you when you hit it.
