Putting the front end back together on my 62 Fury

[peakandscoot]

I have a 62 Fury. It was my dads and I received it in parts. I had all my suspension media blasted and powder coated, am replacing all bushings and ball joints, tie rods, ect and replacing drums with disks. I am getting to the point where I am going to put it back together. I know where everything goes. What I am not familiar with is the process of putting the torsion bars back in. I couldn't find anything on youtube. Can anyone walk me through it or have a video. do I bolt up the lower control arm then go from there and whats the process of getting the torsion bars back together under tension? Any help would be appreciated

Control arm needs to be at full slack. Shock unbolted and the upper control arm bumper removed. Torsion adjusters all the way out. There is a L and R torsion bar so make sure you get the correct one in. Grease both pockets. Slide it in from the rear, install boot and slide it into the LCA, install rear wire clip.

Threewood is on the mark. But, I'll toss in this...

When you mount up the upper/lower control arms, do not tighten the nuts all the way. For now, just hand tight. They get tightened AFTER all the suspension parts are assembled, and wheels on the ground. That simply lets the parts fall into place, with no binding on the bushings. Also allows free movement, to get the most drop, while getting the bars in.
Waste of time trying to 'adjust' the tension on the bars, until the motor/trans is in. Though, you can sort of pre-set, by turning the adjuster bolt in, until there's about one inch of threads showing on the head side.
Final bar adjustment is done, with the full weight of the car on the ground.
