Can't get my torsion bar back in

Yeah, that might be the ticket if you're just building from scratch. Mine was already together with the bar in place. I removed the tbar to install a set of head pipes, and was then trying to get the tbar back in. I really couldn't see disassembling the whole left side suspension to do that. Even the FSM tells me to just let the assembled suspension hang after removing the upper bumper and jacking up the car using the frame rails as a lift point. All is well and life is beautiful...the tbar is happy where it is.
Sorry I guess I overlooked the fact that you got it in. @RustyRatRod told me you said that in post 13. You are right about one thing. The only time I have ever reinstalled T Bars was when rebuilding the entire suspension, and it was all apart. I am glad you figured it out.
