Torsion bar moving

[Charger68ftb]

I just installed my torsion bars. But somthing is off. The passanger side is stiff and has no movement. But the driver side has about 1/2 forward- back lateral movement.when it’s all the way forward looks to be in as much as the other side. But on the body side it’s in further then the passenger side is. Once you push it back towards the body it stops at the clip. But I’m not confident in the amount of bar left in the lower control arm… is there something I’m just not seeing ?

If you feel that the pass side is right I would pull the driver side out and reinstall it. It cant hurt.

Push the bar in all the forward, once there's some tension (torsion) on the bar it won't want to move backwards.
The clip.is there as a precaution but you can see from the flimsy size of the clip it's not designed to be under any real pressure.
Mine are both forward with about 1/4" space to the clip.

Isn't there a passenger side bar specific to that side as well as a drivers side bar?

Yes....... I believe the code part number should be facing the rear of the car, where they can be seen, IMO.

There is a right and left bar, marked R and L. As stated above, the bars need to be installed all the way forward. They keep the lower control arm in place.
