A torsion bar is used in an auto suspension. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension or torsion beam suspension, is a general term for any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance. The effective spring rate of the bar is determined by its length, cross section, shape, material, and manufacturing process.

What is a torsion bar front end?
Instead of using coil springs on the front suspension torsion bars are used from the lower control arms to the frame ( my 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4 has torsion bars , my dads 73 Dodge Coronet had torsion bars ) If you look at a lower front suspension that has torsion bars you will see the torsion bars going from the lower control arms rearward

How do you remove torsion bars on a 2001 Chevy 1500hd 4x4?
Crawl under the truck. Look at the torsion bars (if you can't find the torsion bars, just take it to a shop and have them do it). The torsion bars will have a bolt at each end; take those bolts out. You might want to have the frame held up with jackstands when you do that, I'm not entirely sure how much the torsion bars are involved in keeping the truck from falling on your face (probably a lot).

How do you change a Ford F-150 transsmission?
Its a pain. You first have to drop the torsion bars under the truck. Then get a pulley puller and push the torsion bars back up to remove the metal pieces holding the torsion bars in. Remove the puller and take the torsion bars off. You will then need to remove the bracket holding the torsion bars. ONce that is done, you will have enough clearance to drop the tranny. The hard part is getting the torsion bars back on. Come to think of it, I think you can buy a tool from Ford to pull the torsion bars off. It pretty expensive that why I use a pully puller. Not all F-150s have torsion bars. Buy a Chilton Repair Manual for your correct year. It'll tell you everything step by step.
