Torsions

Features of torsions

To make the torsions tolerate long loads and at the same time retain their properties, special steel brands are used during their production. In this case, the manufacturer needs to properly calculate the force of the torsion resistance so that it simultaneously withstand the weight of the vehicle and allows the lever to move.

Depending on the cross -section of the torsions are of several types:

• round;
• square;
• Plates (consisting of a set of plates, rarely occur).

Torsions can be installed both along and across the longitudinal axis of the car. The first method can be found in the front suspension of classic frames, such as Toyota Land Cruiser 100 or Mitsubishi Pajero V20. One of the advantages of this location is a lot of free space to install large wheel drives.

Transverse torsions at one time were often used in the rear suspension of cars. Because they made it possible to increase the space in the cabin and trunk. Today, this solution has lost its popularity.
