Abstract
An independent suspension system for a motor vehicle is disclosed having left and right road wheels rotatably supported by left and right wheel support members. Each of the wheel support members is positioned by laterally extending upper and lower suspension arms. A pair of torsion bar springs interconnect the left and right lower suspension arms and function as main suspension springs, as anti-roll stabilizers and as drag struts locating the suspension arms longitudinally. The torsion bars have single loops or coils in their drag strut portions to provide a desired low spring rate for the suspension.
