GENERAL INFORMATION :
The new torsion bar suspension used on the Dodge cars, consists of two torsion bar springs (right and left hand), two sets of upper and lower control arms, four ball joints and two struts. The front ends of the torsion bar springs engage the lower control arms at the inner pivot points. The rear ends of the springs engage adjustable anchor and cam assemblies, which are supported by brackets welded to the frame side rails and a removable crossmember.
- The upper control arms are similar to those used in previous models except for the method of attaching them to the frame and steering knuckles. The upper control arms are mounted on removable brackets, which are bolted to the frame sub side rails, as shown in Figure 2. Shim packs inserted between the brackets and the frame sub side rails, establish the caster and camber settings for each front wheel.
- The lower control arms are attached to the frame front crossmember by a pivot shaft and bushing assembly. The pivot shafts are mounted in replaceable rubber bushings, located at the rear of number two crossmember, as shown in Figure 3 and 4. The shafts extend through the crossmember and are secured by nuts and cotterpins.
1. SERVICING THE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS
Should it become necessary to remove the front shock absorbers for installation of new shock absorbers or bushings, refer to Figure 8, then proceed as follows:
(1) Raise the front of vehicle off floor, to release tension on the torsion bar springs. Remove dirt from around the shock absorber upper mounting area. Now, remove the front wheel.
(2) Slide a ¼ inch wrench over the flats on the top of shock absorber piston rod, to keep rod from turning. Now, remove nut and cup washer.
(3) Remove shock absorber lower eye mounting bolt and nut from mounting bracket.
(4) Push the shock absorber up sufficiently to retract piston rod, then slide shock absorber down and out between lower control arm and frame.
