Torsion Bars
Greetings FTE
Since my last posting, I have since endured the $3,000.00 experience of the #3 spark plug pop out repair. I have authored a letter to the Prez. of FoMoCo. If anyone has had any luck with this as far as receiving any remuneration, or will I have to get prepared for small claims court, please let me know.
My Dad treated me to 5 brand new Goodyear ATS's (the model with the 2 grooves) so this solved my tire issue for the moment.
I have had my "99 Expy EB for about a year now, with about 66K, I come home from a business trip, drive out of the airport parking garage, stop at a nearby McD's, and the next thing I know my Expy is on the back of a flat bed with what the driver suspects to be a snapped torsion bar. He surmised this as when you turn the steering wheel, the passenger side front moves, but the driver side stayed still.
Can anyone give me any insight as to how much this is going to cost me? Also, where can I find any recall or bulletin info on this.

Torsion Bars
Probably not a torsion bar. If you're a 4x4, the torsion bars support the front suspension on both sides, but shouldn't affect wheel movement. Sounds more like a tie rod or center link problem to me.
