The original reason that the bars broke was corrosion at the rear socket
due to salt build-up in the winter. Chrysler didn't catch that it would be
a problem during the first year of production. Time was a factor. As
soon as they realized what was happening, a rubber bushing/seal was installed,
and the problem went away, as far as I know.

i have a
feeling the bars that break had a production flaw that just needed enought
stress to allow failure- at 50+ yrs old now- if they didnt break
yet- i'd say youre safe. the trick may be constant use- spring steel has
memory but dormancy may also raise the risk factor- as other "springs" do sag
without use or with
overloading.
