I've searched all over the web for a image of the bolt/nut that you loosen to lower the volare suspension, but can't find any, I assumed it would be a big nut somewhere at the end of the torsion bars but mine seem to be capped, I think Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
but I don't see anything, anyone have a pic of it?
Thx in advance Don

I am not sure of the years of model these were used. My first one was a 74 Volare my second one was a 76 Dodge Aspen. So I know 74-76 Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen were common.

I see a threaded rod on both the right and left side looking into the engine compartment from above, almost hidden by the inner fenders which appears to me that I'd adjust from in the engine compartment. The ends of my torsion bars (which look like sways bars) have no thing as far as bolt to turn. Unfortunately I have no idea what year the front end is from.
Are different year volare front ends different as far as where the adjustment is?

I cannot answer if there are different adjustment points for different years.
I do know that the 74-76 volare-aspen is the most common set up used and they adjust in the same spots. Was first advertised in the truckin magazine than classic trucks in the late 70's early 80's.

I concur with everything that has been written. I would add that to adjust the height, you need to realize that the adjuster on the driver side raises/lowers the passenger side and visaversa. Also, you need to make the adjustment and then back the truck out of the garage and back in. Otherwise, the setting does not remain where you had it when you first lowered the front tires back to the floor. Also, use a ratchet with a small extension so you do not scrape the skin off of your knuckles when the wrench slips off! Jag
