Hey everyone! I'm a novice and need help.
I can not for the life of me get my torsion leafs back in after an inspection. I pulled them because I just put in new ball joints and wanted to inspect before I put the arms back on.
The leafs will NOT slide in. Maybe a cross section if someone has it would help me. I have watched numerous videos, the divots for the grub screws are lined up, grub screws all removed, I have a zip ties to keep them together in order, etc. I am also able to get the very top and bottom leafs (the thin ones) lined up to slide though. I pushed the top and bottom out a little further to be able to feel where they are supposed to be, but the middles sandwiched between them will not follow at all.
Am I missing something? I will say that there was a lot of torsion on the leaves when I pulled them. Something broken inside? Anyone experience something similar?

Glad you got it.
They can be a booger.
