You can observe this preset by laying the bars down on a flat surface and observing how the bar is twisted.

push the bar to the LCR, making sure that the hex lines up. The torsion bar should align up then, there is a left and right hand bar. Step 2: Remove the Tension from the Torsion Bar The chassis book says don't heat the torsion bar but can I heat the end to see if that will break it loose? You will use it many times.

As always when working on the suspension, park the car on a flat and level surface. The driver’s side bars will have a 30 degree right hand twist. Good luck Put in from the back, install the boot, a real pain. But they are really easy.

3) Remove shock or remove the lower shock bolt 4) Remove the Upper Control arm rubber bump stop "To allow the lower control arm to have the most drop towords the ground" 5) At this time the lower control arm should be hanging and somewhat easy to pivot down.
