Torsion bars arrived - made in Canada - thought they would be bare, but came painted black already. Here’s where I got them if anyone is looking for a pair - they have 1 set left. Had several sellers to choose from including Jegs and Summit, but these guys had the best price of
any that actually had them in stock. Shipped them the same day ordered, very nicely packaged to protect them. A Mopar dealer told me he could not find stock out of any Mopar warehouse, and that Mopar Performance had no plans to make another run. http://www.carshopinc.com/product_info.php/products_id/78748 For removal I made up a free tool out of nice straight grained Fir 2x4’s. Just in case releasing all the tension is not enough....

On Behalf Of Michael LeFevre Bill, One of the things I learned in college was to NEVER heat suspension parts! I know many have done it successfully but be careful! Hammering seems to be ok to shock the joints apart, sometimes with tension to assist.

You will not be disappointed. I've always like a firmer feeling suspension, and I was concerned when I bought them myself,
but this does not give a harsh ride in the least. It's just right in my opinion. The 3-fingered ball joint and tie rod separator that Harbor Freight sells worked wonders when I did my suspension. Just crank it down and let it sit...might have to persuade the knuckle with a little heat. Don't crank too hard as the tool
will break (I broke 2) but it's a great design tool none the less. Bill M On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 12:02 PM, Hall, Ricky L <ricky.l.hall@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I have .92” diameter Mopar Performance torsion bars coming tomorrow. After talking to another wagon owner that is running
.92 dia in his big block powered ’62 Savoy wagon. Says it rides like a new car and he would not think twice about going .92 dia in my ’62 Dart wagon with the small block 318 Poly. Had other recommendations from stock .88 on up to 1.00” for a “handler”.
Think I will be happy with the .92 dia - has to improve the under-sprung boat like ride she has now. The PST kit should be here shortly after - this winter’s project will be to tackle my first Mopar front end rebuild. Should
be fun and educational. ; ) The only possible thing left then would be to replace or rebuild the power steering box, if it even needs it. (89,000 original miles on Granpa’s wagon). Going to order Eaton Detroit rear springs next month.
