RE: reinstalling torsion bars

["J. O." <JJO1967@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Herb.
I think I do have the procedure, at least I know there are height spec's and measuring points in the service manual.

Oddly, I have been thinking about getting the Valiant back into service as my daily driver (non-Mopar, thankfully) was just totalled in a head-on collision (no injuries.) Of course, this event makes me think about survivability in the same crash driving my vintage Plymouth... Ouch.

I will take it slow for now, and drive the Wife's car.
