Re: Did the torsion today
Anytime you do this, you do want to get the alignment checked. The toe in will be off and cause uoter edge tire wear. Just tell the dealer that it pulls to the left if you have less than 7500 miles on it and it's still free under warranty. As far as wind noise, I haven't noticed any difference, but I do have the halogens up there so there was always a little noise.

Not if you changed out the tires. Found out the hard way

Re: Did the torsion today
I'm just gonna say this and I don't care who reads it or whatever the f**k they get out of it.
I'm really glad my wife and I got our Hummers. I don't really care to go down to a shop to have it modified. I think it's more fun to try and do stuff on your own to see what happens.
As for me, I am having a great time and this forum and it's really a lot of fun to be a part of.
So if that makes me stupid - broke - trailer trash - a dyke (lol) - or anything else... so be it.

Re: Did the torsion today
Oops. It's not as "easy" as I thought. To get the left hand spring hanger bolt out you have to drop the gas tank. Does anyone have access to a service manual? I'd hate to drop it and break something off.
Also, while I was crawling around under the H3, I noticed that while the part number for the two leaf springs are the same, they're also marked with an "L" or "R". On mine, the "R" is on the left and the "L" is on the right. Could someone else take a look at the bottom of their leaf springs and, if you still have the sticker on them, let me know if your "L" and "R" are on the correct sides? Drew, could yours be reversed too?
I live hundreds of miles from a dealer and can't look under new ones.
Thanks!

Re: Did the torsion today
I just found out that the gas tank skidplate can be dropped without the gas tank coming with it and the tank has a molded clearance groove to remove the spring hanger bolt. Cool! I'll let you know what happened and if it really works that way.
