I am begining to wonder if I have a problem with one of my bars...the front fender looks like it is almost on top of the tire....

any of you guys getting rid of a driver side bar that would fit a 72
(small block set-up) let me know...I am hoping to check the bar this evening and see if I can find any damage....

notice the ride height in the pic (granted the car is on a bit of a cross slope, and the rear air shocks are not helping...
I have a good drivers side small block size (.87 i think) I would be glad to deal with you on but from what I have seen on your suspension posts you still have some diagnostic work left to do. Send me a PM when your sure this is what you need.

Are there any bushings etc that have to be replaced when you put in new bars?

None required but the boots that seal the back of the bar may need replacement These should be avail. from your local dealerships.

Torsion Bar Lock and Seal             

 List Price: $21.00
 
Your Price: $17.85
 
You save: $3.15
 
 
Part Number :P5249609
 And while your that deep into it would be an ideal time to replace the lower control arm bushing.  Stock versions are available from just about anywhere but require the old shell to be cut out while the polyurethane style such as Energy Suspension makes slips into the old shell.
Energy Suspensions also has a torsion bar dust boot but you do not get new spring clips.
I have discovered that I can order the Energy Suspension items through the local Auto Zone, get 1-2 day delivery to their store w/no freight added just sales tax.
