Hi all,
We're driving a 2001 Citroen Saxo on the Mongol Rally.
We hit a pot hole in the Ukraine - straight away, rear left wheel started rubbing like mad on the arches.
We stopped, and a dodgy mechanic said the torsion bar has snapped (or the left one).
We can't get a replacement part, as the Saxo never made it outside of Europe.
We banged out the arches as much as possible, and now it seems fine - even bottoming out on the suspension we think rather than rubbing on the arches.
Does this sound like a snapped Torsion Bar?
Currently sat at a Citroen dealership in Volgograd, Russia - they have never changed the part and can't get it, so we're resorting to other garages.
Would appreciate ANY advice - thanks
