Return to Index   Torsion bar suspension October 28 2009 at 4:39 AM   (Login rgronovius) HyperScale Forums from IP address 147.238.8.16 Response to Track wheels not aligned on Academy 1/35 abrams tank A tank has a torsion bar on each road wheel arm that runs the width of the tank. Therefore, the road wheel arms must be offset. The torsion bar is a long twisted metal bar (they are handed, one side twisted in one direction, the other side twisted opposite) with splines on the ends to anchor the bar. The twist of the metal is what keeps the road wheel arm down. RobG     Respond to this message    Responses 1st and last road wheel stations - Rob Gronovius on Oct 28, 2009, 4:41 AM
