I have noticed on some of the drag car type rear suspensions that a few manufacturers are starting to use a torsion bar and link setup mounted on the frame rails and connected to the rear end housing. It is really nothing more than a rear stabilizer bar with some adjustability built into it.

I am considering a similar set up on the back of the Ranchero in an effort to get the torque to apply an equal amount of hook on both rear tires instead of slightly unloading the left rear. With the car setting on individual wheel scales, I hope to be able to play with the chassis preload, etc.

Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated. My ultimate goal is to get the car to launch straight and hard and keep both tires hooked throughout the process. I have done this before by preloading the right rear a bit, but should I be able to do the same thing by adjusting this torsion bar to transfer the torque at compression of the coilovers. When the car gets on the big end, will the rear suspension be unloaded enough to still provide good stability???
