Re: Torsion Bars affect smoothness of ride?

[bschleic57@xxxxxxx]

upper and lower control arm bushings will affect ride quality a great deal.? these cars in my opinion were not designed for anything but the standard rubber bushings.? tire design and inflation will make a big difference, as well as alignment. the standard .88 bars were put in most b bodys, from 383/air furty 9 seat wagons to simple 318 sedans.

Subject: Torsion Bars affect smoothness of ride?






I've replaced all my shocks with KYB's and the ride in my '64 Sport Fury is 
still pretty rough.  I know it's no Imperial, but my car rides like a truck!  

Uneven pavement not only FEELS jarring -- it SOUNDS rough too.  

Could the torsion bars be partly to blame?  
How would I know if my torsion bars need to be replaced?  
If this isn't causing the problem what else could it be?

Thanks,
Doug
