Wed, 15 May 2002 07:06 gt, nark, you both said the same thing dudes!! gt's got the right question tho... what do you want to do with the car/4wd? why's the thing squeeking? at the doors? youre not going to fix a full body flex (which is probably what youre gettin driving diagonally through a depression) with a single tower brace. they'll help reduce independent movt b/w towers, thus keeping your geometry right at the wheels, but it wont stiffen up the whole chassis. in fact, just thinking, if you go and whack heavier torsion bars all round, youll actually increase the flex through the chassis due to the inflexability of your suspension, and probably make the squeaking worse. esentially, heavier torsion bars will reduce physical body roll (the tilt you appreciate from inside the cabin whilst conering) but will put extra force through the chasis in situations such as driving on uneven ground. tower braces will help keep the geometry of the individual shock / strut towers correctly aligned during heavy cornering, by reducing the flex of the body at those points ONLY, not the whole chasis if, by any chance, you want to go off road and actually use the 4wd in rock crawling, crazy 4wd stuff, i wouldn't suggest spending money upgrading the torsion bars, but instead, invest in some disconnect links. i doubt it tho! cheers ed [Report message to a moderator]
