Front Suspension rebuild

My bars came from the Chrysler dealer, in yr2000. Dont recall if they were clocked. I can tell you this; with the suspension unloaded, the wheels hanging down to the UCA bumper limit, I can just barely get the bars into the sockets.So I suppose they are clocked. Another thing is this: It takes very little preload to get the K up to 5.5inches ground clearance, with 235/70-14s. I doubt I could run 5 inches.
As to the sockets ripping out: hmmm.I suspect the X-member might have been rust compromised.My car has,on occasion, been air-born, and banged hard on the limiters. The sockets are still there. Just saying.
-I have seen several 318Ks with the LCA pin sockets ripped out though.Hard to imagine how that could occur.
