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.
I've only run into one snag that I'm not sure how to fix. The driver side torsion bar is rusted into the key. I had much the same problem with the passenger side, but was able to force it loose by placing a bottle jack beween the tranny crossmember and the torsion bar cross member.No such luck on the the driver side. I don't have an acetelyne or oxy-propane torch, just a regular propane that I have used to heat the key up.'ve only run into one snag that I'm not sure how to fix.
