[DML] Torsion bars?



Dear List,
Were we talking about the doors' torsion bars, or the torsion bars on the front end of the
car? Actually, I've never really noticed...does the DeLorean have torsion bars on it's front
end? I seem to recall them being down there, but now I'm not sure and can't check because my
car is at Bauerle's for the time being. I was under the impression we were talking about
those though, and not the doors'.
