Trouble setting ride height, Bad LCA?? Need Help.
So I got my used 892/893 torsion bars and new Viking shocks installed. When trying to set the ride height back to my reference 25.5 inches at the fender opening, my adjuster on the driver side is recessed 3/8 inch past level with the lower control arm and the piece that the adjuster pushes on is all the way up to hitting the frame. At this level, I am about 1/2 inch space on the bump stop. When I set the passenger side to the same depth, the fender opening height is 26.5 inches or more. I realize there may be some difference between sides but I must have something wrong. My K frame is a QA1
FWIW, on the driver side I tried to adjust the torsion bar by dropping the LCA all the way down with the spindle removed. Now way to move back into place as the torsion bar would not move. This tells me I must be clocked correctly. but I could be wrong. Yes the 893L bar is on the driver's side. I tightened the LCA nut to 135 lbs torque at ride height.
It seems to me that the torsion bar adjuster arm (or whatever that is called) is looser than I have ever seen it. I can move it with channel locks to seat the torsion bars.
Help me get this fixed, please!!!
