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! |

You need to focus on what caused the rust on the bar. Are the rubber bushings out of round or flat? When they collapse the let the torsion bar rub the metal in the tube. It starts the sawing action on the torsion bar that causes the rust and metal failure. There are plenty of cheap stock bars for sale out there.
