Re: Short main torsion bars

Here's an off-the-wall idea: Maybe these main bars are meant to be segmented and joined at the middle, but still full length when joined. The idea might be to have different thicknesses on the front end to "tune" the stiffness of the torsion bar. If so, maybe this was done on a prototype until the engineers had the exact twist stiffness worked out in real life. It could also be used for different vehicle weights and slightly different wheelbases.
