Will new torsion bars correct that POS, bucket-o-bolts feel I have?

Hey huys, which bushings do you replace and then tighten them up with weight on the car? I didn't and I have some clunking and banging when I pull in and back out of the driveway (while turning of course) Mine sounds like it is falling apart also. I think the guy that did mine took the torsion bars out and either swapped them side to side and/ or put them in backwards. New bars might not make a difference but it might. tmm

The lower control arm pins are tightened with the weight on the front wheels. The ride height should be set first. The lower control arm strut bushings too. I believe it's 145# for the pins and 40#? for the struts. I re torqued mine after a couple of weeks. I bet your steering box is a little loose. The torsion bars are easy to check, look for the numbers (892/893 in my case) on the rear of the bars. If I remember, the 893 or odd number is on the right. Maybe somebody can verify that.
