ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in a vehicle suspension system includes a torsion bar (38) having a fixed end portion (48) which is held against movement relative to a frame of the vehicle. A movable end portion (56) of the torsion bar (38) is connected with a support member (18) for a steerable vehicle wheel (12). A retainer (70) encloses an intermediate portion (72) of the torsion bar (38) to resist sidewise movement of an intermediate portion of the torsion bar during twisting of the torsion bar. A strut (80) is integrally formed as one piece with the torsion bar (38).
