Torsion bars maintenance **IMPORTANT**
I want to alert you all to something we should be checking on our TM.
Make sure all the washers and clamps are in place on all torsion bars underneath.
I found a missing clamp and the torsion bar had popped inside the frame. It is still resting on the adjustment bolt so it's doing its job for now. However, while I tried to knock it into place, but I will have to wait until I can raise the rear shell to take the tension off the torsion bar.
You don't want to have a torsion bar pop off and find you have no torsion bar lift at 11:30 pm in the rain, cold, and a tired and grumpy family. Although, two people on either side can probably lift the shell into place, they won't be happy.
