Re: [AMC-list] Early Jeep IFS (was Re: AMC/Jeep J-10 Five Speeds & other mods)

I think it is torsion bars, forgot about that! My main point was that the FOR Twin Traction Beam and early Jeep IFS both use a single u-joint to "break" the axle in the center and don't change camber at the wheel end. The u-joint at the wheel is for turning only. That's the ONLY similarity they have -- I think that's what Peter was pointing out, how the suspension is held on and sprung is very different between the two.

Looks like torsion bar suspension off the upper arms too. : )
