The lower control arm broke where the ball joint seats. Got the torsion bar free from the LCA, but reinstalling it is not working. The rear end of it is loose, but still in the cross-member. Do I loosen the right side also and unbolt the cross-member to get enough room to insert it at the cross-member?

Hello, I am Danny.

I have attached a few pictures including a how-to, step by step instructions. You will have to use a torsion bar installation/removal tool. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any further questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
