    How to measure Torsion bar diameter
    « on: March 09, 2011 - 05:37:28 PM »
    I am assuming a pair of calipers to measure the tube diameter will give me my torsion bar size? ie...when refering to a ".098" torsion bar. Thanks in advance for answering....what a great site.

    I just tightened a crescent wrench on my front sway bar, then slid it off and measured it at 7/8" (.88) on a ruler.

    Did the same with my torsion bar at about .96", give or take a few hundreths! Rulers are only so precise.

    thanks everyone....I am rebuilding my front end right now. The knowledge and the expertise in this section, from having a parts list to some upper end mod  benefits/ranking truly shows just how valuable and helpful this site is. LOVE IT.
