Support the ARB torsion bar in the frame so it rotates freely.
Houses a transition-fit needle bearing that lets the bar twist without binding.
No part-specific design process is documented. The ARB subsystem design process applies: 1. Take the roll rate targets and the LLTD range from vehicle dynamics. 2. Size the torsion bar. CR26I: AISI 4130, 0.5 in OD, 0.33 in ID, 68.12 lb-in/deg torsional stiffness, contributing 1160 lb-in/deg (96.7 lb-ft/deg) to roll rate at nominal. 3. Design the blade and set the drop link positions. Five settings give blade lengths from 4.43 in to 5.57 in and roll rate contributions from 113.8 down to 72 lb-ft/deg. 4. FEA the blade at each setting to confirm deflection and the resulting change in roll rate contribution (1.24% to 1.34% across the range). 5. Design retention: a machined square boss and bore to minimise backlash, a threaded stud for blade retention, and a transition-fit needle bearing for bar mounting. 6. Confirm the resulting LLTD range on the car.
Milled on the CNC.
