Alright. There are a lot of products on the market that promise to remove rust and prevent it from coming back. From reading the threads it seems the opinions on this forum are as varied as the products themselves. This thread is about making a convincing argument... or a ludicrous allegation, which ever you find appropriate. Horror stories are welcome but please limit yourselves to the chemical rust abatement theme already established. For you slow starters, here is your motivation.

One other thing with the electrolysis process is that it doesn't affect rubber since the solution merely needs to be conductive not corrosive. Old tires or rubber bushings should be unaffected.

Heck, since the rust removal process requires a negative electrical connection to the rusty part, the torsion bars in the front might well be suspended in the rubber bushings and electrically isolated from the current flowing through the body. That means the torsion bars would not be subjected to the electrical process, and probably wouldn't suffer hydrogen embrittlement. Without conducting, they would merely be wet while in the tank.

Taking that out a little farther, I'm betting that adding rubber insulators or clipping conducting wires from the front fender to the front "A" arms may vary the results on the front arms. The isolation/conduction tricks could be carried to other body parts to produce a desired result. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
