Torsion bar suspension ....... comfy???

Post by grytvikken »

Can you get a torsion bar front suspension to be as comfortable as a coil sprung front end?
OK I realize its pushing it but what can be done to make my terrano more comfortable over corrigations

Tyre pressure is another thing, 25 psi maybe?
Maybe new shocks, replace with adjustable ones, or softer ones?

Don't wind the tension up. My Terrano is earning itself the nick name of "The Couch". Most passengers are surprised at the ride.
Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

You can't make a torsion bar front end harder or softer unless you change the torsion bars for heavy duty ones. You can make it softer by adding a winch to the front :lol:
