Anonymous OP Unregistered A	Hi i am over hauling the front end of my 65 dart and i was wondering what is the proper way in installing the torsion bar so that it does not over tighten when i raise the car. I have it out b/c i replaced the LCA bushing and strut rod bushing with poly. I just wanted to make sure that i when i tighten everything that the t-bar is in the right setting Thanks Chris

If you don't, you could run the risk of sliding the bar one face off on the hex end. Ride eternal, shiny and chrome
