66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?

Hi Anders,

Sorry about your mallet. Were you able to get the torsion bars out and LCAs off the car? When you clean up the large hexes in the transmission crossmember that the torsion bars fit into there will be a groove machined into the hexes at the back end for the wire spring clips to fit into. These prevent the bars from moving back and falling out though i have never seen one do this.

Also on the ends of the bars stamped into the hex will be part numbers with either an L or an R . Left is drivers side, R is passenger side. The torsion bars have a twist built into them as they are your spring. Be sure to put them back in the correct side of the car on reassembly.

Additionally use a lot of grease on the LCA hexes and the crossmenber hexes to prevent corrosion where the torsion bars fit into these spots.
