When servicing the lower control arm of the front suspension on GM trucks, or replacing a torsion bar, it is necessary to remove the spring pressure from the suspension.
- In order to do this, a clamp, called a torsion bar unloader, can be positioned on the frame & the torsion bar mount.
- The drive screw of the torsion bar unloader is tightened, removing pressure on the torsion bar mount. The mount can then be removed along w/ the torsion bar.
- Required to safely release the tension on the front suspension torsion bar to service the front suspension. Larger design to cover the newer GM Truck applications. Application: 2011 & Newer HD C/K Trucks.
