Need Your Help - Trunk Lid Torsion Bar Alternative

momoparman said
Educate me on how to adjust those T bars. My wife's cuda has a problem. If I put the T bar on the middle notch, the trunk lid will not stay up. If I put the t bar end on a higher notch it about takes my face off when I unlock it. I mean it snaps up hard. So, how do I adjust it so It stays open but does not rip my face off when it opens?

I have tried every adjustment possible as far as T-bars go. Low on one sidegh on the other, switch that setting from left to right, both low, both middle, both high......I think that stick idea may be my last option.

On the stick deal, do I remove the small branches and leaves first?

Haw! In Mexico, I saw a leaf spring on a truck replaced with a properly shaped tree branch!
You are almost there, take one torsion bar out, after propping it open with tree branch Mopar part no 2765375.
Note which direction twisting is being applied, the angle at rest, and anchor one end in a vise or other manner.
Apply torque sufficient to change the resting angle more, or less, as desired, for more or less torque when installed.
Then selectively try combinations of hi-mid-low positioning, (both sides) to perfectly balance the weight of the deck lid.
