Torsion Bar Cracking Noise is BACK.....

So it's been 9 months since they last replaced the shims on the torsion bars to alleviate the cracking noise and now it's back with a vengeance....

Anyone know of a remedy that I can recommend to the dealer? (no, lubing won't work)

Dealer removed torsion bars and found they were VERY rusty.
Removed all the rust, sanded it down, packed it with grease, put it back it with new shims and noise is gone
