In my 67 B-boby, I put in larger tbars, derlin lca bushing and new pins, adj strut bars, hellwig sway bar, and new shocks. I bolted everything up loosely first with car in air. Then I lowered the car to tighten the lca bolts. It doesn't seem like they are getting all the way tight though, they aren't sucking the pin completely back to the kframe. I thought maybe the strut bars were holding it up so I loosened those but still having problems. What is the correct steps to take to put everything together? I am hoping I don't have to take it all apart and start over but thats what it looks like to me. Thanks!
 
The LCAs have a rib around the mounting pin, it should rest against the K member mount. If the nut is spinning along with the pin, you need to place more load on the torsion bar to create some drag.....enough to get the nut tight.
 
Kern, Correct my rib is about 1/8-1/4" from the mount and now the shaft is spinning. How would i place more load on tbar? Do you mean like tightened up the tbar adjust bolt more?
