What diameter torsion bars?

Glad it worked out for you!

If you end up replacing any bushings, get the Moog offset UCA bushings. Will get you some more positive caster, although with manual steering you won't want a ton.

The 1" bars are pretty nice. Not too harsh at all. I may need to go bigger myself, have to keep an eye out for some 1.03's or 1.06's.

Only bushing that were not replaced were the swaybar and the LCA. Poly in all the others. I didn't want to take the time to do the LCA ones while doing the torsion bars. Later project. I know most would say do it while you are doing the torsion bar. Bars were easy after I got tool. What took the time was adjusting things for the larger bar on the drivers side and the the &%$^& poly boots. Had to make a slight dent in the exhaust pipe and make a shorter bracket for an adjustable proportioning valve for torsion bar clearance.

Boy doing the bar showed me another instance of the lack of close tolerances back in the 60's on cars. The space between the clip for the torsion bar and the bar is about 1/2+" on the passenger side and just barely enough room for the clip on the driver's side.
