Suspension

Do i have a torsion bar in the rear as well? I just bought my 04 tahoe LT and when looking around i noticed there was a torsion bar in both front and rear instead of what i thought would be leaf springs. Is this normal for all tahoes or just specific to a certain package?

 

[605Jake123]

may not of specified the torsion bar was expected in the front but not the rear. do all tahoes have them in the rear as well for this year and model?

Just so you know there is are suspension forums...may get more views & help there but...

Our front suspension is torsion bars...

Our rear suspension is a 4 link style setup with a coil spring & panhard bar for axle centering...you don't have torsion bars on the rear suspension.

alright so is the panhard bar the bar behind the axle? i didn't look too hard guess i missed the coil springs thats why i was confused.

Yes the panhard is behind the housing

 

[Physh1]

Yup...one side connects to the pass side frame & the other connects to the axle housing on the left side of the pumpkin.

He could also be talking about the sway bar, as it is mounted off the back of the axle. But I really hope you do some reading about new tech if you didn't know what a 4-link looked like and it's been used for over 10 years now in tahoe/yukons. Hell, some manufacturers have had it over 30 years.

Hello guys! I'm planning to change my suspension system. Can you suggest any great truck replacement suspension components for our tahoe? any help is very much appreciated.

Again, this belongs in the suspension forum, not the Tech area...

Lowell: what do you mean "change suspension system"? lowered? lifted? leaf spring conversion? air bags? There are a few options out there.
