rd7839 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Help, I'm stuck! Just spent all day trying to get the rear suspension back in the car with no luck. I changed torsion bars and bushings, and I hope I got the ride height set right, but can't seem to get the thing back in the car. I can get the front chassis mounts in no problem but cannot get the bannana bar or the slip in bolt to line up. I've dropped it several times, I changed back to the stock bushings, I've cussed and screamed, got out the big pry bar and hammer all to no avail! I don't see anything in the way, but when I jack it into position, the car lifts off the jackstands b4 getting all the way in. I've done several dozen VW and 911 torsion bars, so although this is a little different, same concept. Please help b4 i put a for sale sign in the window. I'll be working on it all day tomorrow if someone wants to call and laugh at me, or offer advice. Ron Dale 530 740-1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck T. Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I did the same thing on my car ... The trans axle has 2 ?? ears sticking out and the torsion bar housing needs to tilt past them. I was so mad I took a cut off saw to them and they are gone ! Hope that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd7839 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Success! It slipped right in(well, almost) this afternoon. And it looks like I got the ride height set the first time. It's a Christmas miracle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
