| Post subject: | Torsion Bars on '72 Duster |
I was looking at the chassis book for my '72 Duster and it recommends 0.87" diam. for a 360 cu in (which is what is going back in). The original torsion bars on my Duster are for a Slant Six. Should I go back with the recommended 0.87" or go to something larger. I like the feeling of a solid ride, but not get bounced around. bwhitejr |

I've been extremely pleased both times I've replaced the slant-6 torsion bars (stamped 886 and 887 or 622 and 623) with HD V8 torsion bars (stamped 892 and 893). Much more controlled, less jiggly ride without undue harshness. |

As much as I like the std. 73-76 bars (890-891), I'll soon be switchiing to a set of 892-893's I have stuffed away.... If you are junkyard savvy and can find a model that hasn't been front ended...any 1973-1976 Valiant/Dart with a 318 and A/C will have these bars also... -D.Idiot |

Ben, what kind of LCA/UCA bushings did you put in when you did it? I think you'd be happy with .87 or .89 tbars for that setup assuming you didn't use poly and have good shocks. I rode in a 65 cuda with a 360 and .87 bars, and the main problem was the jarring from the poly LCA/UCA bushings. You may want a little stiffer too if you're not running a front bar. |
