The torsion bar part is perplexing. Mine have room in that area and I have standard v8 bars, not slants. Have you tried loosening up the motor mounts and shifting the motor up and toward the passenger side? I have the Schumachers too and recall I had to do this to get some clearance on the pass side. I also ground a little on the centerlink to get some clearance on pass side. A lot of the pics in the 5208 thread are from my trials and tribulations.
