Re: [DML] Broken torsion bar

[Rod Dillman <rhdillman@xxxxxxxxx>]

If the torsion bar is under the greatest stress when the doors are closed, should the doors be left open when the car is in the garage?  Rod  10921

If a Torsion bar is going to break, it is most likely going to happen 
when the door is closed (i.e. when the bar is under the most load), so 
I wouldn't worry that much about getting decapitated by a falling 
gullwing door!

Regards,
John
