A long straight bar fastened to the frame at one end and to a suspension part at the other In effect, a torsion bar is merely an uncoiled spring, and spring action is produced by twisting the bar The main advantage of the torsion bar over the coil spring in the front suspension is the ease of adjusting the front suspension height
A spring consisting of a long solid or tubular rod with one end fixed to the chassis and the other twisted by a lever connected to the suspension
A part of an automotive suspension consisting of a bar that twists to maintain stability. Rod or bar that resists twisting (see torque) and has a strong tendency to return to its original position when twisted. In an automobile, a torsion bar is a long spring-steel element with one end held rigidly to the frame and the other end twisted by a lever connected to the axle. It thus provides a spring action for the vehicle
A rod in the suspension system that, when twisted from a grip at one end, functions like a spring
