Re: [T3] Torsion bars, Front Suspension, Apron clips


If the beam isn't rusted or bent you WANT to save it!!  it the stabilizers
taht are larger on the squares  and you want to save that and at least the
left upper torsion arm

Save the lower torsion arms and seals if the arms aren't bent as they bend
easily, I d save the lower bars too.. they break.

and OH the bump stops.
