big thing with the 1" t-bars is they have a 30 degree clock, no left or right. :bigsmile: i agree with 72bluNblu about the adjusting

So is that different from the stock .86 bars I had?

When I was disassembling my front end, I had used a floor jack under the control arm to lift it while removing the upper BJ nut.....

When I put everything together, I didnt have to use the floor jack to reassemble the upper BJ nut.....I just pushed the LCA all the way down, made sure the adjuster bolt was out as far as it could go, pushed the adjuster "arm:" down to meet the bolt, then slid the t bar into the socket....then move the LCA up by hand and connected the upper BJ nut......i never had to use the floor jack....??????

Did I screw something up in the "clocking" or is this correct?

I never used a jack with the .96 bars I just installed , I had the lower control arm all the way down & was able to push the upper all the way down to the spindle
