Torsion Bar won’t fit

Had a similar issue after I changed torsion bar cross member during floor replacement. One sat in hole like 1/4 inch deep and one not far enough in to get snap ring in. Measured everything for countless hours, and then more hours on top of that, and that all seemed to check out. I ended up removing torsion bar and using a dremel cut off wheel I cut snap ring groove a hair further out. Reassembled and snap ring fits in easily and plenty of metal to hold it in. But I would not make that cut without extensive checking measuring double triple checking last resort.

Cars are like woman some times just can't figure them out.
