torsion bar identification? - 6/19/2008 1:56:51 PM    burak sozer   Posts: 86 Joined: 10/28/2007 Status: offline i have installed 31" tires, re arched the rear leafs, but have a small problem with the torsion bars, front is saging and the adjuster bolts on the torsions are not equal, I get one set of stock one set of thicker torsion bars, the stock ones have #503 and #504 on l and r side, also found  a set, which is 281L and 282R numbrs, same ends as stock ones (1,5" hexagonal) but thicker/have more meat on the body. Thought, they would be harder or H-D ones. I have checked the offradtechs article about the torsion bars and inspected the GM# list but there no match with the stock ones and the thick ones, what is 503-503 and 281-282 numbers on the ends? rates etc? thanks. _____________________________ 1996 Blazer LT 4door 4WD 1996 Corvette Coupe LT1 1974 Camaro Z28/Type LT 2007 Fiat Palio :) Post #: 1

Update: The front is stiffer now, ( just 30 miles road test way back home) . Im not sure if this stiffness is caused by bars itself or cranking. BTW driver side key has cavitation on the adjusting bolt place, i have replaced both adjusting bolts with the longer ones. _____________________________ 1996 Blazer LT 4door 4WD 1996 Corvette Coupe LT1 1974 Camaro Z28/Type LT 2007 Fiat Palio :) (in reply to burak sozer) Post #: 2
