What is a torsion bar?

Torsion bars are a straight, solid rod of heat treated steel. Coil and leaf springs are designed to resist forces which cause the to compress. A torsion bar resists the forces which cause the bar to twist! The only way to increase torsion bar performance is to manufacture a thicker torsion bar.

Do I need to adjust the torsion bars to tow?
