A torsion link is a mechanical component used to transmit torque and control rotational movement between two parts, typically in machinery or vehicles. It is designed to flex or twist under load, allowing for some degree of misalignment or movement while maintaining the connection between components. Torsion links are often found in suspension systems, drive shafts, and various applications where flexibility and strength are required. Their ability to absorb shocks and vibrations makes them crucial in enhancing performance and durability.

Torsion means twisting or being twisted. Intestinal torsion can be fatal.
Vehicle does not have torsion bars
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
Spraining your ankle is typically caused by a torsion force, which is a twisting force that causes the ligaments in the ankle to stretch or tear.
I'm pretty sure that only 4WD trucks have torsion bars.
A Dodge Ram does not have torsion bars.
The tundra does not have torsion bars, buy a lift.
A 2WD Tahoe does not have torsion adjustment bolts, it uses front coil springs and not torsion bars.
The 1st generation Nissan Pathfinder, 1987 - 1995 had a torsion bar suspension on the front end of the vehicle. There is a driver's side and passenger's side torsion bar and they are not interchangeable. 1996 - 2009 models do not use a torsion bar.
