I want to drop my ML430 a bit. Tire Rack sells the rear springs from H&K, but the notes say

"No Flat Spring End On Mercedes Benz M-class you must adjust the front torsion bars for lowering"

What exactly does this mean? It is hard to do?

Thanks

The front end has torsion bars & can be lowered very easy with socket & ratchet.

MB Doc...

Thanks for the response...can you give me any hints--how do I ensure the ML is level, etc?

I appreciate the help,

Here is a site that has the directions listed. Not muching new happening to the site recently, but it has a nice collection of knowledge for off-road Mercedes SUVs (M-class and G-class)
