Don't mean to hijack a thread, but..I have a question that sort of relates to this. On upper and lower control arm bushings,? does the inner sleeve pivot in the rubber or? does the sleeve remain attached to the rubber and the rubber distort during the front suspension movement.??If its rubber distorting, then why would poly bushings squeak?

The purpose of Mother Mopar's way is to set the tension on each torsion bar the same. Nothing wrong with measuring from other locations however body panels are not all exactly the same and typically need to be shimmed to fit. You have the new suspension parts working against you at the moment. These new parts add friction to the car movement of the car up and down. Nothing wrong with a short ride over some moderate bumps to help free things up. It is also necessary to bounce the car a number of times between adjustments. You may find that once you have it alighned and put some miles on it you may want to go back and check ride height again. Sounds like you are doing great - keep up the good work. Dennis C.
