Torsion Bars Test/Inspection

Monaro said

Thanks for your input, just crawled out from under car both bars are free of any damage there is no rust and they are firmly attached to the car. I take it that measurment is taken through bar? if that is the case then the bars are just under a 1" (230mm-not sure what that is in inches). However if they are standard you think that it is better to change them for thicker ones? I will just have to see how much money is left over.
Cheers,

I'm not sure what conversion table you're using, but the wiget on my Mac says 230mm = 9.055 inches. It shows one inch as being 25.4 mm. Just to make sure, I looked at a metal rule with both scales and it's the same. Using the same wiget for a standard V8 .87 diameter bar gives 22.098 mm. An .89 bar (heavy duty or AC) = 22.6, and the Mopar Performance .920 bar = 23.368mm. Finally the HD/race 1.06 aftermarket bars made by Firm Feel are 26.924mm.
