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! |

Sixer, I'm redoing the entire front-end New bushings, torsion seals, ball joints, tie-rods, struts, swaybar etc... So I should solve all of the problems at once. Eric, Why so harsh? If 21mm is too much for 95% of the owners out there then what do they use the 22mm, 23mm, 24mm bars for? and if stockers are so good why doesn't the majority of the vendors have the stockers? PP and AA say that they are NLA you would think that if the right bar for street/ax (95% of what the 914 is used for)is stock they would sell a 18mm and 19mm bar. So what would you recommend? hunt through the classifieds for some stockers that are 30+ years old? Do you know of a vender that sells NEW stockers or upgraded? |
