It was years ago, but a local church official had a torsion bar Packard. The Torsion Level was not turned off when the car went up on the rack and considerable damage resulted. When I took my 55 Patrician in to be greased, the shop owner refused to do it. He had had a bad experience with the Torsion Level.

To be on the safe side, my mechanic disconnects the battery before lifting the car.

When Craig was building his Panther, he photographed the gear end of the the auxiliary torsion bars The limit switch had apparently failed and the gears were twisted.
