torsion bars

I was wondering if the adjusters on the front torsion bars go on and one is farther away from the stop than the other will the suspension be weight jacked (one wheel having more spring tension on it than the other) when ride height is adjusted so it is same side to side?

When I put the adjusters on they aren't in the same relationship to the stopon the crossmember.

No, if there is more preload then the car will sit higher. If the ride height has been equalized, then the preload has also been equalized.

It is easy to make them the same so you will feel better, though. Just jack up the car, remove the adjuster bolt, pull off the adjuster from the end of the torsion bar and turn it a little to a new spline so it matches the other side.

Thanks,
I thought that was the case but had heard stories about 911 rear suspensions and didn't know if the same applied.
