Ok so I had to replace the drivers lower control arm due to the sway bar mounting welds failed. Yeah I could of rewelded it but for $20 at the junk yard I couldn't pass it up.

Anyways after I replaced it I noticed when adjusting the bolt on the torsion bar that I had to tighten it all the way and still noticed that the ride wasn't level. So I think that when I installed the lower control arm I may have indexed the torsion into the lower control arm wrong. Without redoing it all over again is there a easier way to fix this? Can I just put a longer bolt in place of the factory bolt to achieve proper ride height?

Let me know on your guys input.

Thanks

are you sure the t-bar is in right? There is a front and rear.

 

To answer your question, no, you cannot just install a longer bolt. You really need to remove the bar and index it properly.

 

So can I just loosen the one side, pull it back out of the lower control arm. Or should I just loosen the lower control arm and reindex it that way?

 

I am pretty sure you have to take out the control arm to reindex the torsion bar. I just replaced mine a few weeks ago for the exact same weld break. If I knew how to weld I would have just welded it to avoid all the trouble. Plus mine just started to pull to the left. I was waiting to do a front end alignment until after I add the lift schackles in back, but of course, those bolt are stuck. Anyway good luck.
