Has anyone ever experienced a torsion bar failure? At speed? If so, please, how did the car react and how severe was it? Also, if you have broken a bar - was it stock or aftermarket? I couldn't find an applicable thread...thanks.

Had one break many yrs ago, can't remember if while it sat, or driving.
When the rear rubber bushing sags, the bar now starts scraping the ID of the A-arm which wears thru the protective coating, then leading to corrosion and subsequent fatigue failure initiated along a corrosion pit. |
