old torsion bars?
Hey guys. I was wondering if torsion bars wore out like all other springs. I have an 89 4runner with 225k on it and the ride in the front is pretty harsh. I only have about an inch of up travel. My bars have not been adjusted at all, so I am wondering if I should replace them. I just wasnt sure how or if they did wear out. Thanks guys

u can replace them or re-crank them. if uv never touched them they may have just slowly worked themselves down. thats the real reason they are adjustable, so u can fix them once they droop.

im personally going to replace mine with downey 24mm torsion bars. for ur truck it would actaully be the 26mm. heres the pricing and parts number, and the site.
48186 86-95 IFS Torsion Bars $158.00

it all depends on what exactly ur lookin for.

Yeah - terrible for "crawlin"... great for blasting down fire roads...
There's a page out there that describes in great detail how to crank torsionbars... includign pics of the bolts and the part numbers if the bolts are rusted and the differenece betwn the early and late bolts...
BTW - the bolts are probably seized and you'll need new ones
