Thanks for the info James How does that 20 deg index compare to the factory indexing ? I'm assuming it's less than the factory to allow for more room on the lower end of the ride height range ? Are the bars specific to left and right ? Or can they be swapped, and does that have effect on the...

As an update....I'm more or less narrowing this issue down (I think) to two small clearance issues adding up to too much total slack particularly noticeable in the lh torsion bar One is the ends of my .096" bars were "dressed" some for ease of fit , although when I spoke with them they did say...

I did replace my lca pivot bushings with moog ones when the frame was being reassembled, and also when I had my lca out (swapping in the e body one to test the torsion socket fit/adjuster slack), my pin is quite snug in the bushing, so I think I'm ok there I am curious 5.7....were the QA1 lca's...

Yes the torsion bar crossmember was replaced during the body work It's an AMD part The crossmember sockets are oriented with points straight up and down....same as originals I have seen or seen photos of I'm going to try and make some more precise measurements of the play/differences side to...

I have an angle finder , and am going to try and get more details using it on some flats of each bar to nail down where this "slack" is coming from The bar to socket fit feels by hand to be similar at all four socket and with all four bar ends, but I need to measure to get more specific...

I did measure this morning actually So I'm pretty convinced that we're ok frame-wise everything was less than 1/8" difference between sides, at the k frame attachments, rad support , and also side to side at the rear I actually set the car on four stands, I still wasn't sure about the effect...

Thanks Will do this tonight, jackstands under the front frame rails but behind the kickup to the wheels, get those even, then measure my k frame bolts distance to the floor, and up near the radiator support as well

This is not impossible, but I'm not certain how the rest of the sheetmetal core support doors and all could fit so well if the body structure was out of spec (rh higher than lh side) And I'm not certain how I would measure/check the body structure for squareness/plumb that would have this...

Well, the LCA is ruled out I'd say The borrowed unit (from E body) sets just the same as the one I removed With an extra 1/2" of adjustment on the lh bolt, the car still sits close to a full inch lower on the left....still at the drawing board, but running out of parts to change/try ? I'm...

Not certain what the .089" bars were from (the fellow has all e bodies for the most part) , but correct length so it would seam they're from a b or e body. But with both sets, either right or left slides right into the opposite side adjuster I was only doing that as a test to how much wear might...

I had the two sets repro .096" and borrowed orig .089", on the floor, nothing jumped out as being different, but they appeared by eye to me to be all four just about the same but I wasn't right on the floor, maybe it would be clearer up the bench I can look at them again tonight if clear enough...

Yup stop bumpers removed Have you been able to change the clocking position of the adjuster related to the bar ? I don't think so I can tell you that there is only one clocking position that will accept the adjuster bolt, believe me, I've had it disassembled more than a few times...but in case...

fun for hours for sure ! I will say , this being my first mopar/torsion bar susp setup, I was excited about the fine tuneability of the ride height, because my last gm a body gave me similar ride height fits (getting the front coils right, too high, too low, new springs ,cutting down slightly to...

They are marked yes 784R and 785L....I could actually change the title of thread (if possible) to just "Ride Height Setting Issue" I actually borrowed a pair of orig bars (.089"), just to rule out the possibility of defect with my new (2 yr old) Mopar Perf .096" bars With the .089" bars, the...

This is pretty much exactly how I've been doing it (LH in/out/in several times) The service manual says to remove that stop bumper under the upper control arm, but I'm not really seeing it hang down that far so that the bumper would be in the way I may have to remove the RH side just to compare...

I've got over an inch of clearance between RH adjusting blade and bottom of frame rail, but probably only 1/2-3/4" between LH adj blade and bottom of frame rail I did have suspension loose when adjusting height, and again loosened to lower the lca and remove and install the LH bar a couple of...

To update, I did get this car aligned the other night at work. The ride height hasn't settled any further, and is where I wanted it (maybe 1/8" higher on the LH side) The top of the LH adjusting blade has much less clearance to the bottom of the frame rail than the RH It did contact the bottom...

Yes I am hoping to have this ride height business all sorted before bringing it to align it on the machine at work My rears are supposed to be an OE type copy (mopar performance brand) of the hemi/440 rears , 6 leaves on LH and 5 plus 2 additional front half-leaves on the RH I was concerned...

The funny thing about buying them, was I bought them over a year ago, and through my workplace (I work at a Chrysler dealer) which made for an easy purchase , although I would probably get more customer service/support if I had bought through summit ! I am going to drive it a little and see how...

Good thoughts....I did loosen both lca pivot nuts while tampering with this adjustment It has nor driven on the road, but settling does occur just pulling in/out of garage, and the amount of settling (maybe 1/4-1/2" at the wheelwell lip) seems consistent from side to side after being up on lift...
