Well, I sure stand corrected. I had never heard of a torsion bar breaking. I guess it makes sense though. Any spring can break so why not? I am kind of curious about the circumstances under which the folks out there have seen them break. One posting references cars sitting still for a long time. Does anybody else have a story to illustrate why the ones that broke did so? I've personally never played with anything older than a 64 so if its just the 50-somethings that break maybe that's why I'm ignorant on this one. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
