Not to hijack the thread but since we're on the subject of torsion bars, when installing them is there a specific way they are supposed to go in? I heard once they had to be "clocked" but never found out if that was true and if it was, exactly how are they supposed to be "clocked"?
Factory torsion bars are clocked 30 degrees against the twist. So they have a pre-set against the twisting force of holding up the car. That is why they need to be installed on the correct side. If you install them on the wrong side (hard to do) then you defeat the pre-set.
Aftermarket bars can be a crap shoot. There have been aftermarket mfgs who didn't understand the pre-set and they didn't properly clock their bars. If the bars are not properly clocked then the you'll have problems getting the car to sit at the correct ride height. I think most of those issues have been resolved but it was a big problem when Mopar first started jacking up the prices on bars and people started trying to make their own.
