How to Make Your Car Last Forever: Avoid Expensive Repairs, Improve Fuel Economy, Understand Your Warranty, Save Money

The torsion bar suspension pictured here is basically the same in design as the coil suspension. The only
exception is the use of a torsion bar to act as a spring. With this system, a spring steel bar is secured to the

twisted via a tensioner. This raises or lowers the vehicle body.
