Re: Please HELP my worst nightmare

Dear Dave,

My passenger side torsion bar has also been scratched by contact with 
the hinge. Are you saying that your passenger side torsion bar got 
scratched by the hinge, and is still intact, or that your passenger 
side torsion bar got scratched by the hinge, and failed? I'm 
interested in knowing more about your torsion bar so I might know the 
probable/possible outcome of my own torsion bar. The idea that this 
scrape is sitting there concentrating the stress bothers me a lot. 
I've since put cushioning between the torsion bar and hinge, but the 
damage is done, of course.

Thank you for your help.
