Leann -
The torsion bars either work, or they don't. A coating of rust is to be expected, which is unsightly, but doesn't effect the function of the bars unless they break.
I have had only one experience with a TM dealer, now defunct, who was supposed to be able to fix torsion bars. It was several years ago, and it was a disaster - he caused a lot of damage, and never did get the job done. From this I conclude that not just any TM dealer can do it. I would have complete faith in the Car Show, though.
Before investing a lot of time and money, I might be tempted to back off all four adjustment bolts for the front shell, and insert a shim between the end of the bolt and the end of the torsion bar. I have not done it, but the shim in my mental picture is a small square piece (maybe 1" x 1"?) of 1/4 inch thick steel.
Just a thought - not guaranteed. But easy to try.
Bill
