Partner Torsion Bars

[tomcolinjones 26]

Hi, does anybody know specificaly which model/age of Partner / Berlingo the 21.3mm torsion bars come from? and does anyone have an up to date price on them new?

 

they are to fit in a 309 beam.

not all the same, there's a fair few different diameters.

 

price and data is all on servicebox

 

Phase 2 800 SWB have the 21.3mm bars, most others have 20.5mm.

 

can also be found on 600 765 and 800 Phase 1 SWB vans, though 600's do come with 20.5 as well.

 

 

only way to be certain is to take a vernier calliper or buy new

 

 

515066 Right TORSION BAR 65.69 GBP

 

515063 Left TORSION BAR 65.69 GBP

 

+ vat.

Them and a 24mm arb yes I liked driving it that that but its my preference

[welshpug 1,646]

20mm bar of circa 1028mm length with 9" lever (trailing arm) give or take a little bit = 131 lbft.

 

21.3mm bar, roughly 168bft.

 

 

Those are rough figures, I've never measured the specific length of the trailing arm, and the 1028mm is the total length of the bar.

so they are apx 30% stiffer? too late for maths!

i shall have to get myself down the scrap yard and source a pair.

 

thanks a lot again for the very detailed replys folkes.

If the bars fit, does trhat mean the whole beam is a straight fit? like as a newer alternative to the majority of tired 309 beams?

No the axles are completely different.

Its based on the 405 beam, it'll fit a 405

 

they were a strange mix of 306/zx/xsara inner wings subframe and bulkhead with a 405 rear beam and floor.
