72 Duster Resurrection

If you ever replace LCA bushings on this suspension system w the vulcanized rubber ones or poly ones with inner and outer sleeves heres a trick so the new ones dont tear like the old ones did. The LCA pins are tapered, this means they wont turn once they are bolted in solid.

Install the arms and everything, but leave the nuts for the LCA pins loose enough for the pin to turn. Get the adjusters tightened enough that the car will hold its own weight. Take the car off the jack and adjust your torsion bar adjusters on a flat surface, bouncing the car up and down on the bumper letting it settle and measuring from the ground up to the center of the wheel arches on both sides. Repeat adjusting and jouncing until all is level on both sides, then with the car on the ground, crawl under the front and tighten down the LCA pin nuts. What this does is make sure the bushing in a neutral position (not twisted), and then allowing for equal amounts of twisting force for up and down travel.
