Mr. Brat Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Is there a differance between the rear toersion bars on a 4x4 ea81 (hatch, wagon, sedan or brat)? Mainly looking for weight rating... Is one stiffer than the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 in all of the ones i have come across, i have not noticed a difference.some had a stiffener on top, and some did not.(kinda like a welded on piece of rod....) whatcha up to? i once had a brat with a tow hitch on the back that was bolted through el mustacho....don't know how much that helped:lol:..cheers, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brat Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 whatcha up to? Well I had to cut my stock ones to get them out (trying to get a stiffer rear suspension). So I went to the junk yard and picked some up out of a wagon. And now i found that the right rear was rubbing on the fender. Thinking that the torsion bar wouldn't hold the same amount of weight was the cause... Found tonight that I have a broken lift block bolt that caused the rear suspension to roll back when accelerating and on a right hand corner... ****ing bolt!!!!!! Now with that being said... All the 2wd cars sit a lot lower to the ground, on my lowered brat I am building, could that rear suspension be adapted to the 4wd trailing arm? So hence a lower profile... Just throwing that out there since we are talking about torsion bars and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brat Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 This is what I found when I removed the rear sub frame. Easy out snapped on the front bolt, so I had to cut out the frame port and have to fab in some brackets now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
