Hi jeman,
....I think that an OOPS...is in order here....Dare I ask...but did you take BOTH sides apart at the same time

.......I do not know of anyone that is in your area But....would some photos of the suspension 'set up' in a fully assembled hull help you to rebuild it

.... I am obviously getting old so my memory is not as good as it used to be....

....I thank the Gods for the 'Digital Camera' .......

Hi there Jeman I've had my Asiatam suspension apart a few times and it is a real pain to put the torsion bars back in place!!! The best way I found was to push the bar is place then put the suspension arm in ready to slot it to the bar. Then get a small Allen key and slot it throw the loop on the bar and then use it to turn the bar so it slots in place! It's a pain to do but it does work! Allso the old asitam hull ride hight was allways a bit two hi!! Now welsh dragon sells some softer torsion bars for the hull that lowers the hight down! I dident fit all the softer bars i just replaced the three middle wheels on each side! And found this to be just rite! Hope that helps you I'd come over and help if I wasent so fare away! Oh the softer bars are £6.99 for the set! Good look Gary.

Hi Jeman,
Sorry advice is a bit late here. But to adjust the suspenion twist the suspension arm in oppesite direction to what you want. Although was the ride heaight wrong when fully assemblied or before, as the extra weight could of pushed it down when fully assembled.
As for re-assabling I don't know. As Alb says can upload some pictures if that help.
