When you install the LCA:

-unscrew the torsion bar adjusting bolt so that it is adjusted completely "out", so that no threads are showing on the top of the adjusting plate and only the rounded ball end of the bolt is above the plate

-keep the adjusting lever/arm in contact with the adjusting bolt, so the ball end of the bolt is always in the adjusting lever socket and the adjusting arm is resting on the plate

-don't let tubular LCA's hang all the way down perpendicular with the ground. Raise them up to about a 45* angle to the ground. Keep the adjusting lever in contact with the adjusting plate, and slide the torsion bar in. If the torsion bar doesn't line up, rotate the LCA up (not down) and keep the adjusting arm in contact with the adjuster. Rotating the LCA without keeping the adjusting lever in the same place relative to the LCA does not help your cause.

The torsion bar can be installed into the socket in several locations when the flats line up. If you don't keep the adjusting lever in contact with the adjuster, the position of the LCA doesn't matter because it's not lined up with the adjusting lever, which is what controls the position of the torsion bar socket.

I'd be willing to bet that neither the torsion bars or LCA's are wrong. I installed the 1.12" Firm Feel torsion bars in my Challenger with the LCA's clocked incorrectly, so I KNOW it can be done. I also know that it seems like there's no way to fix it, because I bought a set of 2" drop spindles to fix the "problem". I didn't realize I had done it wrong until MUCH LATER, when I had to reinstall a set of stock LCA's on my car. When I did, it was very obvious that the stock LCA's did not have the free rotational range that the tubular arms do, and that I had inadvertently clocked the tubular LCA's wrong because letting the tubular LCA's hang down as far as they will go results in them being in a very different position compared to the stock LCA's. So much so that I found that the 2" drop spindles I had been running were completely unnecessary when the LCA's were clocked correctly.
