What are the steps for adjusting the torsion bar on a Peugeot 206?

The steps for adjusting the torsion bar on a Peugeot 206 are as follows: 1. There are two adjustment screws, one on the left and one on the right, in front of the fuel tank under the chassis. 2. Tightening the screws clockwise increases the torsion force and simultaneously raises the front of the vehicle, increasing the ground clearance. 3. If the adjustment screws have reached their limit, remove the adjustment arm and re-adjust by advancing one tooth. Below is a tutorial on the installation and adjustment of the torsion bar: (1) Lift the vehicle, preferably using a support to hold the front cross member, making it easier to raise the trailing arms and remove the shocks on both sides. (2) Remove the rear shock and one of the fixed screws on the small trailing arm of the stabilizer bar, then remove the torsion bar's fixed screw and eccentric washer. (3) Next, knock out the torsion bars on both sides, then use a support to raise the trailing arms to the desired height. (4) Insert the new torsion bar, find the optimal meshing position, and fully insert it. Remove the support and measure the data. A deviation of 1-2 mm in the up and down swing is normal; if the deviation is too large, re-measure and reposition to find the correct meshing position. (5) Once both sides are aligned, secure the torsion bar with screws and eccentric washers, applying a torque of 25-30. (6) Install the shocks: torque the lower part to 140 and the upper part to 80, then reinstall the removed fixed screw on the small trailing arm of the stabilizer bar.
