We all know that the 30 year-old rear springs on our cars begin to sag and need replacement. Is the same true of torsion bars? I have read a lot about bigger bars for competition but not much about simply replacing tired bars.
I am working on a six which clearly needs new rear springs and shocks all around. Probably could use new bushings in front as well. I also plan on installing turbo tie rods. Should I replace the torsion bars as well? Are the stock front bars available? I want to put the car back as close to new/stock as possible. It will be a street only car and I don't want a harsh ride. Also, is it difficult to replace front bars/bushings? I have done struts in the past but I have never removed/replaced the bars. Advice appreciated. |
