Torsion Bar Install

hemipar ...... yeah we should have tried that .. as far as those bars go the car did no ride any differnet by installing them on the correct sides.. it handles terrible.. it drifts all over the road when especially when your not on smooth roads.. the front end is so unstable .. it kind of floaty .. it drifts all over the place . thinking its the bars .. they are junk when installed on the wrongs sides for a period of time. anyone ever have this expirience?
I replaced bars before and never had a cars frontend feel this way .another thing is.... after installed the bars on the correct sides and front end needs another alignment.. it had a drastic change to the alignment from switching the bars around to the correct sides..

I'm dealing with something like this right now on my 75 Duster 318. I rebuilt my front end a couple of years ago and installed slightly larger .890 bars. Had it aligned in the fall and it drifted all over the road. I put it away for the winter, didn't drive it all last summer and now I'm driving it again. It's like navigating a shopping cart down the freeway. It was sitting almost on the bump stops, so I cranked it up to 1" of spacing and then the rear end was uneven. I figured I was off one increment on the RH torsion bar and have it all apart now. Upper ball joint disconnected, brake line, shock, strut bar, adjustment bolt out and lever pushed down to limit, LCA hanging down until it hits the frame and I can't quite get the torsion bar to line up. It needs to rotate another few degrees. I should note that the LCA pivot hole did break and wallow out years ago and I welded a plate over it to repair. Maybe it's not positioned correctly - it was a little bit of a guess. Still have no confidence that if I solve all of this, the bars are going to be correct. Should I get new bars? Should I have to disconnect everything and swing a LCA all the way down to install them?
