Re: [DML] Drivers side torsion bar

[Clint Pearson <cpear760@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to engineer out the torsion bars? I was thinking of the torsion bar issue while looking at the rear lift gate on our 2003 Toyota 4Runner. 
There are no torsion bars, just hinges and gas struts. It typically rises on its own and mostly likely heavy like the D's door.

Subject: [DML] Drivers side torsion bar

After 28 years my left side torsion bar decided to give up.  One night last
week about 10:30pm I heard a bang outside.  I turned on the lights and
looked around but didn't find anything.  Saturday morning I went out to move
the D and couldn't get the door open.  The light bulb went off and I was
able to lift the door from the bottom and my suspicion was correct.  The
bang I heard was the torsion bar snapping.

I have seen some advertised by the group in the past but didn't think I'd
need one but now I do.  Does anyone have a left side torsion bar new or
removed from a parts car?  Please e-mail me offline if you have one or know
where I might find one.

Thanks,
