Tow bar service

I occasionally see threads about getting a tow bar "serviced".

What is done during tow bar servicing?

Here's a webpage for BlueOx Towbar Service at Rallies around the country. It describes a bit of what they do and the costs. Also there is a list of their Rallies this year.

I've had mine serviced a couple of times and did the service once myself. Most tow bars have multiple metal and plastic spacers in the center joint. They take that apart, clean the tow bar and replace the spacers. It's then retorqued to the correct specs, tightening everything up.
