| Post subject: | Torsion bar set |
I have new 28 MM Sway-A-Way torsions on my buggy. I know that new torsions need to be broke in and typically need indexed untill they do. I have indexed them 3 times allready and they need it again. This seems excessive to me. How many times should they be done before they actually take a set? Thoughts and experiences please. |

I'm running 28mm Sway a way's for 5/6 years. I only adjusted mine 1 time. If your on almost 4 times I would think its a bit excessive. I started mine on the stiff side which may have helped?? In others words I don't have a clue, 1 time work for me though.

I'm running SAW 28mm torsion bars and I think I had to re-set mine 3 times before they finally stabilized. I have a torsion adjuster and I'd have to adjust after every ride. I could adjust it twice with the adjuster before having to pull the spring plate to reset the preload, but I still had to reset the spring plates 3 times. No problems now and they are working great, but it was very frustrating having to take everything apart so many times, and I even thought that they may have been cracked or stripping the splines. |

That has been my experience so far. I am sure the way i drive has some bearing on it. I am pretty hard on the Buggy. |

I have 2x3 arms and on a rough ride, mine would drop 3-4 inches in the rear on a day ride. I don't think there is a problem with them, they just take some time to set. Now that mine are set, with my custom torsion, I put no preload on mine and turn the adjusters in about 3/4" to get the correct ride height. |

Yep 3 to 4" drop per ride is about right. |
