Can someone explain to me what a Torsion Stop is?

Favorite Answer

A torsion bar is a spring.
But instead of it being coiled up like a stock car coil,
it is a straight piece.
One end there is an arm connected to say the axle.
The other end has a "stop" on it.
It keeps the torion bar from spinning, when the suspension moves.
So that the torsion bar actually twists.
The stop is also like the jacking blots on stock cars.
you can change the amount of preload on the bar.
Similar to when you hear the stock car guys say
he added a round to the right rear.
You do that with the "stop" on a torsion bar suspension car.
