LCA Indexing and Torsion Bar
Okay guys,
A few days ago I made a rather serious error while installing my torsion bars. I believe I misunderstood the written instructions I was following. I don't have an exact size on the bars, but they appear to be the OEM <1 in diameter. I put the torsion bar in with the arm lowered as far as it would go with the strut rod installed but with the hex pivot flush with the top of the arm. Later in the installation process, I attempted to raise the arm on a jack to emulate ride height and this happened:
Long story short, before I embarrass myself further I would like to ask you all if my current understanding of what I did wrong is correct. Should I have installed the torsion bar into the hex in this position instead?
Also, will I need to remove the sway bar and ball joint to get the arm back down further or can I get where I need to be from the following position?
Thanks in advance
