[DMCForum] Torsion Bar Issue




Hey Guys,

I recently put up a post on the DML and I figured I might be able to
get a good yay/nay response from you guys as well. 

My Passenger Door Torsion Bar is broken...but it broke about 1 to 2
inches away from the rear part, not what goes into the door hinge
but what faces the rear of the vehicle.  NOW, I've already had the
torsion bar welded...which didn't cost much yet they did a superb
job of placing a thick steel sleeve over the entire break that
extends about an inch outwards on both sides of the break.  So where
the break was, it is now a solid piece of metal. 

My question is do you guys think, with the location of the break and
the quality of the welding, that I should test the bar out?  I was
told someone has done load testing on the bars and maybe could point
out something I don't know. 

I have the hinges off the car to be powdercoated, so I might try
securing the hinge and putting a bit of pressure on the bar to see
how it feels. 

Thanks,

Brandon
