ABSTRACT:
A retainer for retaining a pair of vehicular trunk torsion bars which are in non-parallel overlying relation. The retainer has a housing for receiving and resiliently clamping the torsion bars including an elongated upper housing portion, an elongated separator depending from the housing for preventing contact between the clamped torsion bars, and opposed locking fingers for clamping the torsion bars against the upper housing portion. The separator depends downwardly beyond the locking fingers so that the separator can be located between the torsion bars proximate the location where the torsion bars overly, and a tongue projects upwardly from the upper housing and perpendicularly to the separator so that an installer can grip the tongue between adjacent fingers, slide the separator between the torsion bars into engagement therewith at the location where the torsion bars overly and pull the housing against the torsion bars to nest the torsion bars in the housing.
