Torsion Bar Adjusters, '67 Imperial

[bajajoaquin]

As mentioned in other threads, I'm going to be replacing the Isolators on my Imperial soon. I'm trying to get the parts together in advance (I must be getting old) so I can just remove and replace, not run around and find stuff.

One of the things wrong with my front end is that the right side of the car is maxed out on adjustment, and it's still too low. I'm really hoping to get lucky, and when I replace the isolators, the car will sit level, and the adjustment will come back. But in case it doesn't, what else is in there with the adjusting screw? Looking at the parts book, it looks like there might be a "swivel" that fits into a slot in the lower control arm. Is this correct?

Is it likely to have been stripped out? Is the part available, or is it hard to find? Other general comments and suggestions welcome.

I'm pretty sure that parts is the same on every mopar with torsion bars B, C & E (not A-Body)

Okay, thanks.

One of the Imperialists has suggested my torsion bars are indexed incorrectly, but it's not clear to me how to see if this is so, or how to see to index them properly. Any guidance?

Never thought about it, I'll have to check the Factory Service Manual.

Your adjusters are different 5/8 hex instead of 3/4 hex like all others shank might be same I can't remember. I am guessing indexing they are referring to is making sure adjuster is screwed all the way down and socket in LCA is also down and even on both sides before T-bars are installed.
