Ok Dudes and dudettes,

I finally got off my butt and I also finally have everything ready to put back in the Charger. My problem is that I've never re-installed torsion bars.

I have new seals, clips and grease.  I know which is right and which is left and the bars are all cleaned up and ready to go back in.

Now what?
What is the step by step? Anything I need to pay partiicular attention to?

ok - make sure all the weight is off the front end ---  remove the torsion bar adjusters - grease up the front slot they slide into and the rear housing....     slide it on in and install the snap ring and the boot (install as you install the bar)

part numbers should be on it - it is an even is drivers side and odd is passenger side (I think)     

wait for comfirmation on that though...

swing the lower control arm & adjuster lever down as far as possible
Odd is Always Left side slide the bar through the rear mount then install the boot & slide the bar forward into the LCA socket
