How long does it take......
before my torsion bar is likely to seize up again, paid £180 about a year and a half ago to get the torsion bar unseized and lowered. bt i've not touched it since then and im wondering how long its gonna be until it seizes up again! anyone know?
Cheers guys
and girls

if the guy who did it had any brain cells then he will have coated them in copper grease before putting them back in which will make them much easier to pull out again if need be. if not then how long's a piece of string.

Bang on, they are unlikely to be siezed yet I would have thought

rust, they dont assemble them with the mind that they will ever be taken apart so bare metal on metal in such an open place to moisture = rust
