  Q: How to service and repair the torsion bar on GMC Jimmy?

  A:

  To complete the servicing and repairing for torsion bar, start by raising and supporting the vehicle with the safety-stands. Unload both torsion bars through the Torsion Bar Loading/Unloading Tool (J 36202), recording the number of turns reached while releasing the adjusting bolt, and then remove the tool. Following this, take out the lower link mount nut from one side together with the torsion bars while making sure to identify the exact direction of the forward end and the side you are taking out from. Move on to extracting the lower link mount nut from the other side and the lower link mount and then continue to extracting the upper link mount nut and upper link mount. Finally, take off the torsion bar support from the frame. For installation, position the torsion bars in the same way they were removed and install the torsion bar support, upper link mount and upper link mount nut, tighten the upper link mount nut to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs. ). Mount the bottom link mount bushing on it and use the jack stand to hold up the torsion bar support member, then install the lower link mount nut and tighten until it reaches 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.). Adjust the torsion bar with a Torsion Bar Loading/Unloading Tool (J 36202) tightening the tool against the adjusting arm for the recorded number of turns to load the torsion bars. Pull the car down and determine the final Z trim height.
