Stealership not rippin me off!?!?!
well i decided I'd have to call and get that trunk torsion bar from a dealership because i can't find one anywhere her on the club. Well, it turns out that its a cheap part after all! its only like $18!!! the only kicker would be if i have to have the techs install it rather then me do it myself. I'm a little worried about putting it in, i know its tough.

It shouldn't be that hard. Do you need pics of it already installed?

It can be dangerous.......but this opens up a thought. Who'* game for a test-fit? I might be willing to unload and re-load one on the Zilla this weekend to get an idea of what you're up against. I've never done one before.

when you take the bar out of the notch....the bar will try and suck you into the trunk lid, at a VERY high rate of speed
YOU CAN HURT YOURSELF VERY BAD......i would say that the bars that come from the factory setting are under at least 100-150 LBS of pressure...you need at least that to get them back in the notches
again please be careful if you dont have the proper equipment or are not strong

OH THOSE!!!! yeah, I remember that I had one SNAP on my cutlass...i have no idea why, but it snapped out of its placement...i took it to the dealer next door and they popped it back in for free. Made me think it was easy...apparently not...
