Replacing Torsion Bars

you are correct. a bar is twisted at 30* or something like that in a clockwise motion for one side and a counterclockwise motion for the other side. having the weight of thecar on that bar continue that twist is what holds the weight of the car. going against that twist they cant hold the weight. bars are rated at about 10% of the front end weight, i.e. 180lbs for a 1800lb front end.

sorry, chuck i had no idea of those types of bars. i have never used them or installed them on customer cars since i don't build circle track cars. i guess i should say MOST bars are left/right specific.
