Possible I guess, but very stupid. Bet someone was too cheap to replace them both when one snapped.

If I discovered that, I'd be replacing both.

or at the very least change out the long one for a matching short one.
( Me being the cheapo sort that might only do 1, as long as it didnt end in a missmatch)

hey green you don't really need an unloading tool or c clamp either to remove the torsion bar, all you need is to relieve the pressure on the bars which can be done by simple lifting the front wheels off the ground, the only reason to use the c clamp is if you want to remove them without lifting the vehicle off the ground...
