This past April, the torsion bar end gave up to rust and abuse resulting in the purchase & installation of Baum tools QP1000 torsion bar saver.

Once the bar end was cut back and ground to bright metal, there was noticeable slop in the fit. We went ahead & welded it up anyway.

Due to the location, it was possible to get a bead only halfway around.

4 months have passed and it is still holding. My commute is only 10 miles, but over a bridge with lots of expansion joints, so I drive much more carefully now
