The project Dakota
#23
Update: she's coming together
I've finally found a torsion bar and had it shipped. The original was bent in such a way that even with the entire drivers front suspension disassembled it would not budge. So after a few minutes with an angle grinder I was able to remove the bent TB. Now I cant seem to get the lower control arm to go back in to place with the new torsion bar inserted..... It's the metal insert on the bushing that is hitting the mount on the frame. I don't have the strength to move it any farther back and can't remove the front bolt on the LCA because the sway bar is in the way (seems the bolt was installed backwards Imo) any ideas?
