Lowering a torsion bar, nick method...

The only thing that is worrying me is that a 2-3mm gap has appeared between the arm and the axle on the left side  Huh  Everything is buttoned up, and I've had the ARB tabs on and off a couple of times to make sure they're fully home, tried belting it to see if somethings stuck  - but still this bloody gap is there, showing a couple of mm of axle shaft  Huh

Anyone got any ideas on that?

While I'm about it - 51€ for a pair of 20.5mm torsion bars - for a Berlingo, but can anyone confirm whether these will fit on a Cab? If they will, I'll bite their arm off 

Cheers

Torsion bars not driven fully home. There is a clearance measurement between inside of shaft and the rubber seal on the tube, can't remember what it is. Have you changed the seals?
