Ford Ranger Maintaince And Repair Manual page 880

If equipped, always turn off the Automatic Ride Control (ARC) service switch before lifting the vehicle off of
the ground. Failure to do so could damage the ARC system components. Refer to Section 1 for jacking
procedures.
A special tool (Torsion Bar Tool T95T−520−A) is required for removing the torsion bar. Also, anytime
the torsion bar or its adjuster is removed, the vehicle ride height must be checked.
1. Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle. Place the jackstands so as to support the frame of the
vehicle. Do not position the jackstands under the lower control arms and do not use car ramps. The
lower control arms must be free to hang unhindered.
2. Remove the torsion bar protector/skid plate from the frame.
3. Remove the torsion bar adjuster bolt from the support nut. Count the number of turns required to
remove the bolt and record it for installation.
