Torsion Bar: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The front of the bar mounts to the back side of the lower suspension arm. The rear end of the bar is mounted in a anchor that rests in the frame crossmember.

OPERATION
The torsion bars are used to control ride height and ride quality. The vehicle height is adjusted through an anchor adjustment bolt that increases or decreases the angle of the torsion bar. Increasing or decreasing the bar angle changes the angle of the suspension arms.
