Denis,
Make sure the LCA hangs low when you lift the car to install the torsion bar. If it binds or sticks up (stiff bushings for example) you need to bring it down.
Some people even remove the lower shock bolt to make sure the LCA is at its lowest.
I never had to do that.
If the torsion bar socket in your left LCA is turned clockwise too much, and the bolt does not touch the adjustment lever, back up the bar a bit (out of the socket), turn the socket anti-clockwise one notch (bring lever down until it touches the adjuster), and reinstall the bar (adjust the LCA up or down to align bar and socket).
Depending on the bar diameter you have, there may be a left bar and right bar (smaller diameters) or they may be identical (big bars). If the bars have distinct part numbers, the even number goes on the passenger side, odd number on the driver side.
There are only 10 kinds of people in this world... those who understand binary and those who don't !
