Suspension Torsion Bar

Suspension torsion bars are a type of suspension component used in vehicles, specifically in the Vehicular Cab, Body, and Frame Structural Components supply class within the Vehicular Equipment Components supply group.

Torsion bars are typically made of a long, cylindrical steel bar that is attached to the vehicle's frame on one end and the suspension arm on the other end. They are designed to provide support and stability to the vehicle's suspension system.

When the vehicle encounters bumps or uneven road surfaces, the torsion bar twists or flexes, absorbing the impact and helping to maintain a smooth and controlled ride. The amount of twist or flex in the torsion bar determines the stiffness of the suspension system.

Suspension torsion bars are commonly used in vehicles with independent front suspension systems, where each wheel has its own suspension components. They are known for their durability and ability to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for various types of vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles.

It's important to note that the specific design and characteristics of suspension torsion bars can vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer and model.
