Clocking lower control arms and PST 1.03 torsion bars. 72 Dart

When you talk about "clocking" you're referring to the position of the torsion hex in the control arm correct? Does it matter what position the hex is in the rear? My LCA bump stop is about 1/2-3/4 inch from the frame and the adjuster bolt is against the adjusting arm with at least 2 inches of tension adjustment. I assume when I let the car down the bumpstop will be close to or on the frame and I'll have plenty of adjustment up.

Clocking as we call it is the hex on one end in relation to the hex on the other.
You might have noticed this like when the bars are laying on a flat surface one end is not on a flat of the hex like the other.
The old style bars from PST used to have the hexes lined up and people were having problems getting the height back.
The newer bars are clocked about 20% like the factory bars and don't have that problem.

Like I said up there, it's pretty much impossible to get the bars in and not have them in the right orientation without it being really obvious.

Also, unlike the stock bars the 1.03 bars don't take near as much on the adjuster bolt to make the suspension react, so your needed travel on the adjuster will be less to get back to ride height.
You should have WAY more adjustment than you did before with less travel of the adjuster.
