66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
*phew* Finally finished with the front suspension!
Too what I did yesterday apart to remove the paint in the hole in the LCA for the strut rod first. It wouldn't seat properly. Learning every step.
Driver's side was pretty straight forward until I inserted the torsion bar. The strut rod pushed the LCA backwards so that the bushing didn't seat properly. This made the torsion bar stick out so that the C-clip couldn't be mounted.
I used a ratchet strap to force the LCA in position.
Then came the next hurdle. The groove for the C-clip was too tight. Probably from beating on the end of the torsion bar. I had to cut the front end off a grind bit and use my new die grinder to improve the groove.
