[DML] Re: Torsion bars and door hinges

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The distance between the torsion bar and the rear door hinge seems to
vary from car to car. On some I see it touching. I recomend cutting a
piece of inner tube (or heavy rubber) about 1"x2" and slipping it in
between the torsion bar and the hinge. You can grab the torsion bar
and pull it away to get enough room to slip it in. Don't wear any
rings while you do it, you don't want to scratch the torsion bar.
Check both sides.
