Alright, so I installed a PML on my 2000 Xterra about a week or two ago and all was well and dandy, other than the fact that I was riding the bump stops. I finally had the opportunity today to attempt to re-index the front end. Using at least 3 different sources, I felt confident I could do this. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I sprayed everything down a week ago and today, about 8 hours before I climbed under the truck. I first attempted soccerbrace's re-indexing guide on CX and got all the way to the part where the T-bar is removed from the lower control arm (LCA). For the life in me, I could not simply "remove the torsion bar from the anchor plate." Questioning my technique, I searched a few other articles on the interwebs that required far less information. However, each time I read an article, the article simply read, "remove the torsion bar*." Additionally, multiple articles told me that I would have a lot of free motion in the rear side of the T-bar where it meets the cross-member on the frame. I know all vehicles aren't alike, but I had very limited play here, maybe a mm or two in each direction.
Maybe its because I like very specific information (because that* just seems extremely vague), maybe I messed up somewhere, but I can't re-index at all. For the time being, I down-cranked my t-bars to attempt to create a bigger gap in the bump stops. Where did I go wrong?
Thanks.
