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!
