I have a 2001 Quad Cab 4x4. It's a 3.9L V6 SMPI Engine with the 42RE transmission and 3.55 axle ratio with a 205mm front diff and 8.25 rear axle. I'm getting ready to rebuild/replace the front suspension and I really don't want to deal with having the truck out of commission while trying to separate the torsion bars from the old lower control arms. Where do I find new torsion bars? When I Google the Mopar numbers they're either out of stock or discontinued. Does anyone make replacements? If so, can they be had for a reasonable price?

 

I checked Rock Auto, who does carry them but they are out of stock.. Might email them and see when they will get them back in stock.

 

They've been out of stock for as long as I can remember. Everywhere else I've checked they're either 'out of stock' or 'discontinued'. I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

 

Chemicals are your friend. Spray the areas where the torsion bars go thru the lower control arms with PB Blaster several times before you actually do the job. (over the course of a couple days, if you can manage it.)
