After looking at the factory pictures I still
haven't been able to reconcile the routing of the left torsion bar vs. the Y
pipe on my 1962 Imperial. All the pictures I found showed a dual exhaust system,
mine is the OEM single exhaust with a Y pipe crossover. With the engine and
tranny out, after removing the left torsion bar I couldn't remember (probably
Alzheimer's disease!) whether the torsion bar was routed under, through or over
the Y pipe. Would someone be kind enough to look under their Imperial and let me
know how it's supposed to be installed?
While I'm posting, let me toss
in a plug for Kanter's front end kits. The bushings and ball joints looked just
like the OEM parts, the fit was perfect, and all nuts, washers, cotter keys and
grease fittings were there. It took one day to remove and install all upper and
lower control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints, two tie-rod ends, and
the strut bushings. I also installed a used and rusty but tight center link I
got from Bernbaum in Ohio.
