1.00 ff tb
Did it again and same thing......5 inches from the top of the tire to the fender lip. I tried it with the lca all the way up, middle and in between and the result is the same. I check the tb, and with one end on the flat the other end has the hex pointed up or in the middle if that helps.
So I think either Firm Feel dropped the ball in making these or they stamped the ends (l/r) on the wrong side and for that I'll need to swap sides tomorrow. Also called and left a message for Dick@FF, so hopefully we can get this sorted out in the morning.
73bluNblu, I followed what you posted and no joy, thanks for your help!!!
If you got the same results with the LCA in multiple positions, you're doing something wrong.
If you inserted the bar into the torsion bar socket even one flat apart, you would not get the same results, even if the bars were somehow clocked wrong when they were made, or even if they're on opposite sides. When you installed the LCA, did you pay attention to see which flats were lining up from the torsion bar to the socket? I'd be willing to bet you installed the LCA with the torsion bar going into the socket in the same position all 3 times. Mark one of the flats on the LCA torsion bar socket, and when you reinstall the LCA make sure that flat lines up with a different flat on the torsion bar.
Sorry I can't be of much more help than that via the internet, I can't see what you're doing. But even if the bars are wrong, you would not get the
same result if the torsion bar socket moved from one hex flat to another on the bar. It's possible that without the engine in the car you just aren't loading the bars enough to notice the difference, but if you rotate the torsion bar socket by a flat on the bar you physically can't get the exact same result.
When I changed the clocking of the LCA's on my Challenger, it dropped my car over 2". Granted, that's with a fully loaded car, but I switched from 2" drop spindles to regular spindles, kept the same ride height, and still have adjustment to go lower.
