TORSION BAR SET, 4WD/ DODGE RAIDER, MITSUBISHI 4WD/MONTERO '82-89, 26MM X 50.38" LONG
- A heavy-duty suspension foundation for the second-generation Mitsubishi Montero and Dodge Raider. These solid steel torsion bars are engineered as a high-performance replacement for the softer factory units, providing a 20–30% increase in spring rate. This added stiffness is critical for vehicles equipped with heavy steel bumpers, winches, or oversized tires, as it eliminates "nose-dive" during braking and prevents the front suspension from bottoming out on technical trails.
Performance & Fitment
- Application: Front Torsion Bar Set
- Spring Rate: +20% to +30% over OEM
- Compatibility: Works with both lifted (cranked) and stock-height configurations.
Mitsubishi Montero (2nd Gen / V20): 1990 through 2000
Dodge Raider: 1990 through 2000 (Global/Export markets)
Note: Specifically sized for the second-generation wide-body chassis.
Material: Solid high-strength alloy steel, selected for its exceptional fatigue resistance and "torsional memory."
Manufacturing: Centerless ground to ensure a perfectly linear spring rate and to remove surface micro-imperfections that can lead to stress cracks under heavy oscillation.
Heat Treatment: Through-hardened and shot-peened to maintain ride height and prevent the front end from "settling" or sagging over time, even under constant heavy armor loads.
Finish: Industrial powder coating for superior protection against road salt, moisture, and trail debris.
❌ 2WD Models: These bars are specifically length-tuned for the 4WD Independent Front Suspension (IFS) geometry. They will not fit 2WD chassis.
❌ Montero Sport: While sharing the "Montero" name, the Montero Sport (Challenger/Pajero Sport) often utilizes different suspension mounting points and bar lengths compared to the full-size Montero. Verify your bar length matches the full-size V20/V40 chassis specs.
- ❌ Pre-1990 Models: Will not fit 1989 or older first-generation Monteros. Those earlier vehicles utilize a different torsion bar length and diameter spec.
