   Agreed. If you can get them out, your only looking at about £20 for the two at your local scrappy

   Dno about u lot, but scrappys around here are mega expensive!
   
   Phoned up for 2 rear hubs with bearings at my local scrappy, they said £55 each second hand...
   Ended up buying them brand new from a car shop for £50 each, rip off!!

   doubt you will get torsion bars for £20 from any round here tbh, they will make you buy the whole axle.

   Wouldnt it of been cheaper just to drop the rear axle and put a new one on? Got quoted only £100 for a whole rear axle from the scrappy
