Torsion bar install question

Torsion bars are original 892/893. Still have the blue paint daubs.

With no UCA's installed, just strut rod, LCA, and T bar the lower bump stop has about 1-3/4 inch gap below the frame pad. How does that sound to you?

That should be pretty close to the bottom of the range of travel with the bump stop in.

With those torsion bars there’s almost no chance they’re a hex flat off, it’s pretty hard to do that with a factory bar.

I installed new strut rod bushings, but tightened them just enough to keep them seated in the K frame. The strut rod definitely prevents a loosened LCA from dropping down all the way.

Rubber strut rod bushings or poly?

Ideally the LCA’s would hang down freely past where the bump stop would be, but with factory strut rods and bushings the bushings have to compress to get that kind of range so if they’re brand new that makes sense.
