WHAT GIVES????? Did you tighten the pinch bolt as well as the bolt that goes in the end of the torsion bar? You MUST do both. The bentley manual has very good instructions on this. If the bar has been operated loose for a long time, the hole in the upper arm will be augered out and no amount of tightening will make it stay tight.
