Another rare cause of sudden cardiac death that can occur in anyone, though it's usually heard about in young people who play sports, is called commotio cordis. It occurs as the result of a blunt blow to the chest, such as being hit by a baseball or hockey puck, at just the right time.
When I was reassembling the torsion bars, I found the same crossmember bushing problem on driver's side. You will probably have to unload torsion bars to repair. Once bars are out, remove cross member and drill out the rivets to remove the mounts, the new mounts come with bolts to replace the rivets.urns out that the bushing at the end of the cross-member where the rear of the torsion bar mounts is loose (see photos). The torsion bar is firm in the cross-member, but there is alot of movement and knocking in the connection where the cross-member attaches to the frame.
Remove the torsion bar adjusting bolt with the torsion bar tension tool. Turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise to remove. As tension is removed from the torsion bar, the torsion tensioning tool will continue to apply tension to the bar. Remove the flat nut on the torsion bar using a socket wrench.lace the jack under the front crossmember of the vehicle and lift up on it. Place jack stands under the front pinch welds of the vehicle and lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. Apply a liberal amount of penetrating oil to all of the bolts holding the torsion bar in place.
