Passenger Side Torsion Bar Too Long
Ah gotcha. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.
There was at least one other case on here of a torsion bar actually being too long, the forgings on these things were not always cut the same way on the hex ends. With the small difference in length that shouldn't be the cause, but it is something else to consider. But typically you can push the torsion bars a good 1/4" or more past the spring clip retainers before they bottom out, so the bar length doesn't have to be perfect.
A couple of pictures from my cars, you can see there's a good distance between the clip and the end of the bar. So if the clip won't go in it's not off by a little bit, it's off by over a 1/4" at least.
