I just bought some good used bars that are suppose to be small Block / 6 Cyl bars. I wanted to know other than being Left & Right is there a Correct way to put them in ? Meaning is the # suppose to be in the Back ? Dose it matter ? I would think the Bar would gain a sort of Memory to it The...

Did you read this one? Dont know if it will help. My problem was I never loosen my shaft bolt. torsion bar install what am I doing wrong?

Torsion Bar install basics. If the upper control arm is installed to the body the rebound bumper needs to be removed. Lower control arm shaft nut loose. Strut rod to K-frame nut loose helps a ton. Torsion bar adjustment nut backed all the way off. At this point you should be able to rotate the...

That’s actually pretty correct. “Sometimes” people need an extra 1/2” clearance or something. On my last torsion bar install, I removed the upper bumpers, removed the adjuster bolts, jacked the car way up….and still needed a HUGE crescent wrench on the end of the torsion bar to get that little...

...nut stop? (see last photo posted) I hear various talk about these needing to be "keyed." The more I read the more questions I have and less answers. 1969 service manual makes no mention of this in the torsion bar installation instructions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Thank you @T2R9 /Jeff all I had to do was loosen the shaft bolt and they went in.:lowdown: You said dont tighten them until the car is on the ground, does the motor need to be in before tightening them? When do I tighten the t torsion bar bolt that gos through the LCA? Thanks again

While putting larger torsion bars on my 1970 B body it looked like the boots looked too small. Even after adding grease, I couldn't push them on by hand. So I found a plastic plumbing connector that is the exact diameter of the torsion bar (point to point). It is the beige piece in the photos...

Hey guys, had my charger on the lift installing the Trans today. I noticed the torsion bars have a boot on the back side of the Trans cross member but none on the front side of the Trans cross member. Is that correct? Or did someone install the bars without the bushings. One other question...

Where did you need extra clearance? The boot part was funny though, it was like looking in the mirror LOL! No need to losen any thing else?

1970 chjarger sb they came out easy. L on drivers side and tried numbers front and back. Stoppers off lca and uca jacked up lca all the way and it is lifting the car off of jacks. Tried with uca totally unhooked from car. What am I doing wrong? Watched a video and his fell right in ...

Yes, this is standard practice and it surprises me that it needs to be mentioned. I've read and heard this before but have not had to remove the UCA upper bumpstop before. Interesting. I've never done this once. For stock torsion bars that I never have any interest in using again, I have...

it was 2.5 hrs there and 3 hrs home for me. Still made it home before dark and I was very tired, but it was worth it. Thanks KD and Rich. Great to see you guys. KD - also please post your new Torsion bar boot install method. It required 2 people, but it worked better than anything I've seen...

How to install Energy suspension torsion bar boots. My video of how to.

Ok I know this subject has been beaten half to death but I have a question. All of the posts I have read say to remove the limiting bump stop and shock absorber prior to Stabbing the torsion bar into the socket but the Shop Manual says to attach the shock first. which way is right?

Years later it was reported some would freeze the shocks slightly extended and install at the last minute for the same result

hello gang i understand the left from right torsion bar by markings on bars but is there a front or back direction also do they need to be clocked or just install thanks sjm

Torsion bars don't have bushings.

Minor update. To add insult to injury (literally) my brand new battery started leaking. I noticed some corrosion on my hoist. When I removed it I found one cell was low. Looks like there must be a crack somewhere, but nothing obvious. My buddy Rick replaced the battery no problem. I had...

Happy Saturday Everybody, Got a quick question, looking for a general consensus. Just received these T bars from Sway-A-Way. Only one end of one bar is marked. It looks like this is supposed to be a “L” which I assume indicates the driver’s side and the marked end would be towards the rear...
