My T-Bucket has a torsion bar rear suspension.....sort of. It took a lot of digging to find out what I have, but I did find out. It's part of a VW bug front suspension. It's a single 2" dia. tube that is mounted across the rear of the frame. Inside the tube are 8 leaf "springs". The leaves are secured in the center of the tube. At each end of the tube, attached to the leaves, there are arms with links to the rear axle. Looks good, however it doesn't work. It's not strong enough to support the rear of the car.
That's the way I got it. I added a couple of air shocks to get at least some sort of suspension. Has anybody else got anything like this?
I posted this in the wrong place first. This is where it should be. I cannot yet post any pics. I think that might help but a few more messages and pics will be allowed.
