A sway bar is indeed a torsion spring, but the rear suspension on the Yaris isn't a torsion bar set-up, as Sirius-XM says it is. It isn't. The sway bar isnt "a reinforcing spring spring for the torsion beam", as he states. It's a torsion spring to be installed (in the case of the Yaris) on a coil-sprung solid type rear axle. Same net effect, to minimize roll but not acting on a torsion bar type of axle in this case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

We're both quite relieved, I'm sure!

I said the suspension is a torsion BEAM not Torsion Bar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_beam It is a torsion beam as opposed to two independent swing arms that can be attached in a variety of manners. Using the Beetle as an example, The Beetle had two independent trailing arms that attached to the body via torsion bars in a tube. The yaris has a single unit suspension with a beam that twists to allow the trailing arms some degree of independence. |
