    The document discusses procedures for removing and installing a torsion bar on a Volkswagen Eurovan from 1992-2003. It describes using a special tool to release the torsion bar from the control arm. It notes that the standing height at the front axle should be measured and adjusted according to specifications when installing the new torsion bar. Adjusting the torsion bar involves turning the nut at the tensioning lever.

    The documents discuss procedures for measuring, adjusting, and aligning the suspension of a Volkswagen Eurovan, including the standing height, longitudinal tilt, and wheel alignment specifications.

    To measure and adjust the standing height of the front axle, you measure the dimension from the bolt head of the upper shock absorber mount to the center of the bolt of the lower shock absorber mount. You can then adjust the standing height by turning the nut at the tensioning lever of the torsion bar. After adjusting, you should measure the standing height again.

    A protractor is used to measure the vehicle longitudinal tilt at the longmember.
