I don't think anyone said the torsion bar was connected to the center link and the "busted k frame was just informed to everyone.The tierod ball joint is to the inside of the torsion bar so lowering the torsion bar will cause the torsion bar to move downward where the tierod will stay at the same spot on the wheel side but lower on the inner ball joint which will allow the two to move closer to each other.But until he gets this car back together it's irrelavant to discuss much.When it's together then we can see what needs to be done then.With the steering being changed which I wouldn't do to my own car,these cars aren't light and manuel steering is tough.With the money spent on converting the steering I would buy a set of headers for that car.Hey 73moparman lifting the motor to remove the headers is basic procedure on these cars so replacing the power steering will not help that as everyone that I know of has to do that with either steering.
