Torsion Bar Set – Safari – GMC Astro – AWD – 1990-2005 – Front – 34.75" Long x 1.087"
Performance & Fitment
- Application: Front Torsion Bar Set Diameter: 1.087" Length: 34.75" Spring Rate: +10% over OEM Adjustment: Features a splined end for virtually infinite ride height indexing.
Chevrolet Astro AWD: 1990 through 2005
GMC Safari AWD: 1990 through 2005
Note: Specifically designed for the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) chassis. These bars include a new splined key to replace the factory hex key, allowing for much finer adjustment of the front ride height.
Material: Solid high-strength alloy steel, through-hardened for maximum durability and fatigue resistance.
Manufacturing: Centerless ground to a precise 1.087" diameter to ensure a perfectly linear spring rate and a smooth surface finish.
Heat Treatment: Shot-peened and heat-treated to maintain a consistent ride height and prevent the front end from "settling" under the weight of a camper interior.
Finish: Industrial-grade powder coating for superior protection against road salt and moisture.
❌ RWD Models: This SKU is strictly for AWD models. Rear-Wheel Drive Astro and Safari vans utilize a coil spring front suspension and do not have torsion bars.
❌ Heavy Armored Builds: While a 10% increase is great for a light camper or daily driver, if you have added a heavy steel bumper and a winch, you may require a thicker bar to maintain proper suspension travel.
- ❌ First-Generation (Pre-1990): While some 1989 models featured AWD, verify your production month and bar length. This 34.75" bar is the standard for the 1990–2005 AWD platform.
