I'm not sure that I fully understand the comment about "your doors latching now that it's cooled down", but... The torsion bars would not be affected by the normal range of temperatures that we experience. They are cryogenically tempered at -230 degrees F, and aged at +780 degrees F, so the steel wouldn't even notice a temperature change to 40 degrees F. I'm sure that everybody on the list will recommend that you change out your "bad struts" for some fresh ones, and then adjust the torsion bars for minimum stress, and optimum balance. "Lower stress equals longer life" is just as true in steel as it is in living your life.
