torsion bar issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he fellas.
just wondering, i llifted my navara 3 inches and now off road comfort is shithouse just feels like it jars when i hit a bump.... i wound down the torsion bars the other day and the ride is alot better. will new torsion bars fix this problem??? i think the old ones have run out of flex being wound up that far...

thanks boys, help me out if u can..
cheers Hally.

If you have a steel bar, winch and/or dual battery setup I'd be going new H/D Torsion Bars for sure, where did you get your 3" lift from? I have heard of a few people that have had there Standard Torsion Bars wound up for so long they have severe sag.......

Sounds like you would 'em up to far! Try for about 10-15mm gap between the top bumpstop and the upper control arm.

H/D torsions are essentially just a harder spring. It's mostly the shocks that need replacing on the D22 navs! (they're s**t house from the factory)
Talk to Zordo on these forums

yeah did u wind the bars all the way up?, wind em back down. I left 10mm gap, but found it was more capable when they sagged lower.

its a snake racing kit with their new control arms.
i have got about 20mm between the top bumbstop when it was wound up...
not sure y the ride is shit tho with gap on both sides of the bump stops...
i had them wound up 3 inches at the front wheels( measuring from botton of rim to the gaurd)
i heard when u wind them up the bar has got no spring left in it wich causes the bad ride.
i dont have a steel bar just the factory one.
would the bigger diameter bars have more flex fixing this problem?????
cheers boys

I never had my torsion bars replaced but only ever constantly wound up to bring the car back to level, just another reason to go for a sas.

whas SAS????

Solid Axle Swap, what Solid D22 has done and joshy is doing. Basically removing the Independant Front Suspension and putting in a live axle, increases the performance of the vehicle offroad.
