This Torque Bar is ideal for those with altered suspension and "spring-over" suspensions. This Torque Bar prevents spring windup and possible breakage due to high torque loading or unloading while climbing steep grades, under high acceleration, over broken uneven surfaces, or with heavy loads. They also help eliminate the danger of spring or shock failure during sudden axle drops.
These Torque Bars are unique in their design with a removable interlocking pin that gives you needed maximum suspension travel. Simply by removing the pin, the Torque Bar is allowed to slide, giving increased freedom to the suspension. This Torque Bar is manufactured using the highest grade of steel and equipped with polyurethane bushings for long life under all driving conditions. Comes with installation hardware. Some drilling and welding is required for installation.

When using stock leaf springs, it's important and recommended that you change the Leaf Spring Centering Pin to one that has a longer head. Doing this will compensate for the additional thickness of the shim and limit the possibility of slippage. Sold in pairs.

When a vehicle is lifted using an extended shackles, the steering caster angle changes from the stock -1 deg. angle. This creates undue wear on steering components (Knuckle Bearings, Tie Rod Ends, Steering Box). You may also notice your vehicle wander or follow grooves in the road (under inflated tires and other worn steering components will also cause wandering). This problem can be corrected by using Caster Spring Shims. In vehicles with V-8 and or automatic transmission conversions that require the rear drive shaft to be shortened, Caster Spring Shims can help relieve stress on U-joints by rotating the rear pumpkin up. Sold in pairs.

position of the axle housing. |
When you raise a vehicle by adding longer shackles, the axle housing rotates downward changing the angle of the differential and steering components.

Using the proper shim rotates the
axle and steering components back to the correct position. |
