Re: [DML] Torsion Bars

garage for a while and never thought about selling it until this discussion
came about

I have replaced two of these bars on different cars. One was a 
passenger side that snapped about six to eight inches from the 
bracket. The other was a drivers side that snapped about an inch from 
the hole where it enters throught the fiberglass body. In both casses 
I noted that the break had appeared to have started some time before 
the the torsion bar gave out, due to a dirty part then a clean part 
of the break.
