Adjustable strut rods alignment question 74 Dart

Phreakish said
Step 1 on any torsion bar alignment is ride height. If the shop screwed with that, it could be part of the issue. With a swaybar, adjusting one side will also affect the other - it's very important to make the ride height adjustment with the bar disconnected. I could see an inexperienced shop skipping that step.

Raising the front end can help increase caster and stability to some degree too. If the incompetent shop lowered the front, it could be compounding your issue.

If you reset your own wheel, it's possible the toe is slightly off. Shouldn't be with equal adjustments per side, but I've seen stranger things. Lengthening each adjustment sleeve a 1/4-1/2 turn and seeing if your situation improves might not be a bad idea. It's what I'd do, but I rarely have to drive 70mph these days.

I didn't have the sway bar disconnected when I set the ride height, but I can see how that would cause me to adjust one side differently than the other. I raised it up and messed with it along with straightening the steering wheel and it was much better. I'm hopefull that with the adjustable strut rods, setting the height with your advice, and another (3rd) alignment, I'll have it riding better. I also ordered new 1.03 torsion bars, just to eliminate that variable, as I got mine used and suspected them of being different from side to side (which may just be the sway bar deal that you mentioned). In the mean time, I had had the wrong (too small) bolts in the leaf mounts. I fixed that and replaced the shackle bushings with urethane. I have a rear sway that is yet to be installed. This thing should ride pretty tight if I can solve the riddle.
