Success! My car no longer has a broken rear torsion bar (in it).




That torsion bar be broken. It broke at the inner splines. You can see where the crack began and propagated out in a spiral. Very impressive.




That's the broken end still in the torsion tube. I guess I'm supposed to bash it out from the other side once I remove the other bar. No rust or anything. I would even say "pristine"






Used my fancy iPhone angle find app to determine the inclination of the non broken torsion plate. 34.8*. Is that correct?




The good torsion bar. Ready to be pulled. I think I am now one with this car Green on the left, blue on the right. Is this significant?




Lets twist again, like we did last...........oh, never mind. Couple of zip ties, JB Weld and some duct tape and it'll be good as new. (Its'a rally thing)




Now I'm off to Dearborn to pick up some used torsion bars in case the rally-fix doesn't work. Ford ones will work right? But first I think I've earned a nice cup of tea.




Tomorrow we slap it back together. Saturday we figure out how to work the radio.
