slide the torsion bar into the trans crossmember first, then do the above.
Yes the lower control arm and strut rod must be installed together then OK to loosely start nuts on both.
Then install torsion bar with LCA all the way down, don't worry to much about clocking since you're gonna remove everything before you drive it.
Don't tighten anything till torsion bar is "home" and clip is installed.
Best to do LCA last, after you're OK with ride height, but no need to torque anything since its coming apart anyway.
