        You asked that I post after re-adjusting the torsion bars on my coach.
I received the torsion bar unloader from Jim Miller this morning and adjusted the torsion bars this afternoon. I don't remember who posted the six turns per inch on the pork chop bolt, but that information is right on. I did eight turns and I am low by about 1/3 inch. That is 1/3 inch low according to the "leveling sticks" that I got from the PO. I also took in to consideration the 1/2" body lift due to the new body pads we installed. Now to the important stuff. The "lumpy" feeling and the steering wheel "wobble" on start off from zero mph, are gone. Everything seems to be back to normal. The drive axles are not totally horizontal, but they are fairly close.  I re set the air bag leveling height in the back (using the PO sticks) and I am off to Northern Michigan tomorrow morning for a week or so.  We shall see what we shall see.
