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.
