So My saga continues. I go to clean up my torsion bars and find that one has ALLOT of rust pitting and the other has just one small rust spot.
So they have to be replaced right? I definitly have to replace the one that is pitting but aren't they matched? I guess after 30+ years they may not be any more? If I have to replace them what size is the best for a Street/ AX car NOT a daily driver? Thanks! |

Yep they do tend to break where they are rusty.
I also had one go recently, see the attached picture. The bar rubbed on the tube of the a arm, right were the rubbing and the rust was is where the bar broke so rust = bad (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1132394965.jpg) |
