Torsion Bar Installation Question
« on: March 06, 2017 - 02:06:10 PM »
Hey guys,

I'm getting ready to install my torsion Bars in my Challenger and my question is should I use a little Anti-Seize on the ends that go into the LCA?  Could I be asking for trouble?  Thanks

Dave

anti-seize or greese... ok.
Autocross/road racers go in deeper... and come out harder!

If you use anti-seize (and I would) DON'T use the aluminum or silver stuff! Aluminum and steel don't like each other and you'd be well advised to use the good stuff-copper. T-bars are a cast iron SOB to get out when they've been in a while and the never seize will make it much easier should you need to do so.  :cheers:

I've only used the copper-based anti-seize for anything which i apply it to... higher temp-ratings as well.
