So if time and corrosion have take their toll.. then it would be hard to repair that mechanism..... and it was important that the height be adjusted to level ... I think they factory spec required one quarter of an inch or less difference side to side.. and if it was not it gave a wavy ride not found on coil spring cars.. which of course did not have adjustments available at all... so many bit the dust due to mechanics not knowing how to keep them adjusted properly...
Only you and I would think of those torsion bars used on the hoods of those cars.... lol
