LCA sits on bump stops?

Hi guys, I need some help.
I just finished rebuilding the passanger side front end of my 71 318 Dart and I cant figure out where I went wrong?

All new ball joints, bushings and bearings. I set the car on the ground and tightened it up then went to adjust ride height using the A B subtraction method and my number is 1/4 inch, Not the 2 1/2 + - 1/8 im looking for.

I pulled the torsion bar and the UCA bump stop, pulled the assembly down, pushed adjuster blade down and slid the torsion bar back in.

set the car down and started tighting the adjuster bolt and still the same issue. with the bolt sucked into the LCA im still sitting on the LCA bump stop...


I got no one around to look and see if the torsion bar mount has let go but I think I would.see that easy?

What are the odds that my bars are just fully shot or do u think I went wrong somewhere else?


Thanks for the time and advice.
