A passenger side bar will have a 30 degree left handed twist. lots of fun take your time. Our 1.03 bar here is our performance oriented bar for all around improved handling, especially if you’re looking for a pro-touring type of handling or modern day, as I like to put it handling versus a little bit more of a spongy ride that you’d see with an original Mopar type torsion bar. The nice thing about these bars is there are 1.03 diameter with a 20 degree offset or clocking at either end of the bar for a nice preload. Please note that these are performance torsion bars suited Home Forums > Mopar Technical Forums > Suspension, Steering and Chassis > torsion bar instalation.

Basically, a torsion bar is a high-strength steel bar that connects to the frame behind the front wheels and the lower control arm. Mopar torsion bars are preset at the factory in the direction of use. …

Hex End Clocking Since the Hotchkis torsion bars are larger (stiffer) than most stock bars, the hex ends may be clocked differently compared to the old bars you had.

But, in my opinion, these days, normal “modern day” streethandling make torsion bar rates of 200+ pretty much the ‘default’ application for V8 powered A-B-E body Mopars.

The driver’s side bars will have a 30 degree right hand twist. etc.
