ABSTRACT:
A device used to increase the spring rate of a torsion bar spring commonly used in front suspensions of automobiles and light trucks. Consisting of at least two main parts this device is clamped around the torsion bar with screws and held firmly in place at determined intervals. The intervals being such that the friction generated at the clamped sections is sufficient to transmit the torsional loading of the torsion bar through the device effectively increasing the torsional resistance of the overall torsion bar. Since friction is used to transmit the torsional loading no modifications to the torsion bar are required.
