Hi Rein,
I still collect some experience about those torsions,but may be can help.
It is not so clear what must be the reason for this clocking. It is not obligatory that there is something wrong with the torsions. For example it may be the back telescope suspend is out of order.
What is the exact behavior of your back side of the car?Is it in very low position?
Do you hear a strong hit in the corpuse boot?Is there a lot of rust on the inner side of car,s back doorsteps and boots?
Now about the torsions…..May be you know this things may be not….but let,s begin.
There is a pipe which connect the back wheels.Infact this pipe is made from two parts placed just behind the fuel tank.The shorter pipe goes within the longer and wider one.There is a metal rubber bushing in the middle.The torsion bars are placed just inside of those pipes.The both ends of the pipes are placed in the metal rubber ,,bearings,,also.All back side of the car is straight up about the elasticity of torsion bars.The telescope suspends just take the hits from the road.The whole disassembling of back suspend is not so easy.If you want to repair it with your own hands must to have some special instruments.
The easiest thing that you can do is to check the two bolts on the which side of the car, placed just beneath the ends of back seat. Check them for cracks or loose with years. Check the telescopes too and its fastening in the corpus boots in the trunk of the car.
Do you have some manual?If you need some drawings let me know.
I hope that you will find the reason about clocking and it won’t be so serious. Wish you luck.

Thanks, I think that the two pipes around the torsin hits each other, one is inside the other but there must be some rubber seal (gasket) I think that it is broken, can I change it myself, does I must open all the torsion for changing the seal. I forgot that sometimes it scrats too.

Hey,You are so fast with your respond.This forum looks like a chat these days.
Hey,brother in arm I have got the same problem like yours since I bougt my car 10 months ago.But in my case there is no clocking only TERRRIBLE scraching.Here in Bulgaria the whole complect concluding two metal rubber bushings and special grease cocts 35 DM,but I try to solve the problem in other way,cause my seal is not damaged.In Your case you must dissasemle just shorter pipe,change the rings fill with grease and put all back together.See also some ,,conversations,, between me and Ivo from Croatia on the same page from forum.The article is ,,overheating,, from Ivo with 6 replyes.
Sorry about my english.
I hope that we will together solve our same proble friend.Let me know what you will do.
Bye.Tisho.

Hi again,
I think about disassembling. It is not obligatory to disassemble all in you case.Only the half from the suspension.
Just unscrew the both bolts which hold the end of the right torsion. Disassemble the telescope too. Disconnect the brake fluid pipe. Disconnect the hand brake steel rope. Lift up the car and pull out whole
right suspend. Change the TWO metal rubber bushings with brand new one and fill with grease. Put all back together. It is not so easy as it sounds, but you must be stubborn.If there is someone to help with holding etc. is the best way.Don’t disassemble the torsion bar from pipe, otherwise you must assebmle in the absolutely the same position.If you made a mistake with only one cog it is equal to 6 cm. lift up this side of car.

I cecked the problem visually and I can say that these two pipes are side by side half of seal is gone I think and thats the problem. How much this seal costs in Euros? I think that I can handle the change this. All the jobs in car I do it myself.
To Tisho:I hope you anserw my e-mail:)
