The front and rear torsion bar assemblies are similar in their construction, the rear torsion bar being narrower than the 
front. Each torsion bar is made from 35 mm (1.38 in.) diameter spring steel bar.

The right hand end of the torsion bar has a machined spigot which provides for the attachment of the forged steel 
short and long arms. The spigot for the short arm is splined and mates with splines in the short arm. The short arm is 
located in a specific position on the splines and clamped to the spigot with a Torx bolt and locknut. The short arm is 
not a serviceable item other than the actuator attachment bush. The smaller spigot diameter locates the long arm. 
The long arm is fitted with a slipper bush which is located on the spigot and secured with a large washer and a special 
bolt. The slipper bush comprises two inner and two outer bushes which are installed from each side of the long arm. 
The outer bushes have three lugs which locate in the long arm to prevent the bush from rotating. The long arm also 
provides the attachment point for the actuator piston rod and the anti-roll bar link.
