Suspension problem
2001 Dodge Dakota V8 Four Wheel Drive 114000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to remove a broken torsion bar from the left side lower control arm, approximately 8 inches is in the control arm. I have attempted to drive the broken piece out towards the front of the truck with no luck. Can it be removed from either direction?

Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

Never had one out of a Dodge, but they usually go in from the rear
