Default Replacing Sways and torsions, what else do I need/

I bought a set of torsion bars 22/30 to go with the 22 sways I have, what else do I need to do an install? The bushings are good but I hate to tear it all down and miss something so I want to have everything ready, I also need a recommendation on a place to get it aligned.

Thanx
Thom

I would replace these as well. You've already dropped enough coin on the expensive parts that it wouldn't make sense to not "renew", "refresh", "update" the bushings that they ride in.

There are several shops that can do the alignment but ... seeing as you are south of the B-way try RPM. (Newington). Here is a link to shops in the area.

No affiliation, etc...

You want to do the whole suspension or just the torsion bars? If your car has some miles on it, replacing the ball joints and tie rods might be a good idea too. You know, while you're in there . If you're not tearing the whole suspension apart, you might pass.
