[DML] Re: Driver Side Torsion Unit



My original comment was not directed at the bar or its design, it was directed at the idea of turning the bar up higher (tighter) to overcome a weak strut. Struts are cheap, torsion bars and hinges are not.

My pet peeve is cars coming in with struts date-stamped sometime in the mid-80s and the door actually works. You KNOW that torsion bar and hinge are under way too much stress. 

Sorry for any confusion.
