ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a stabilizing apparatus for a motor vehicle using a torsion bar for conveying torsional forces from one location on a motor vehicle to another location on a motor vehicle. A torsion arm with variable flex resistance along its length conveys forces from a wheel suspension component to the torsion bar. An engagement assembly is provided between the wheel suspension component and the torsion arm for selectively varying the engagement location of the suspension component along the length of the torsion arm as the vehicle moves. In this manner, the amount of leverage applied to the torsion bar can be varied, thereby changing suspension characteristics of the vehicle.
