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

What are torsion bars?
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.
