torsion bar

Does anyone have the nissan motorsport heavy duty torsion bars?

If so mine broke thanks to nissan, need help with question.

Searching the topics in the search for awhile, I thought I could post this.

I had an alignment done by nissan, they never got it. The 2000, X pulled harder to the right after they did the alignmnet. I drove the X home 35 miles and parked it in the garage for 2 weeks. Went to get in it last weekend and found the drivers side torsion bar snapped like a twig.

I have 33" BFG's, calmini 1 1/2" shackle lift, ARB bumper, and 9000i warn winch.

Also I have not had it off road for over a year.

Any ideas how it could have just broke?

Where did it break (got a photo) ?

If it broke at the splines, then it may not have been engaged enough. If it broke along the length, it may have been damaged or a manufacturing defect.

I am meeting nissan today to look at the bar he claims was dented. It broke right in the middle. I will try and post a pic soood.

Hmmm. That's 2 this week.

I have the Sway-away torsion bars and they are OK. I think they have sagged a little over the past year. I am going to re-adjust them when I get the steering replaced. I know it is a haul, but I would come to Indianapolis and go to 4 wheel parts on east Washington Street for an alingment. They aligned my Xterra as well as a few other lifted ones and mine still drives straight after 4 wheeling.

xoc, that is wy I had it my garage, off road only.

I will try and get pics by this weekend, looks like a manufacture defect. I am trying to get a hold of Sway-Away to see if they will send men new ones--ha, ha. We will see.
