Re: torsion bar twist

I'm in the same boat. I have to crank the adjusters in on my t-bars so
that there's only ~1.25" of adjuster left (measured from the end of
the bolt head to the adjuster plate face) just to get the car level! I
know they are old and weak and need to be replaced, but I just don't
have the $ right now to buy new ones after recently rebuilding damn
near everything else having to do with brakes and suspension on this
car. However I know that my ride will improve greatly as my current
t-bars have such a lowered spring rate now from being so worn out.
