[glow=red,2,300]IFS[/glow] - Indpendent Front Suspension
[glow=red,2,300]Panhard Rod[/glow] - A long lateral link that provides lateral location of a rigid axle. It usually sits roughly parallel to the axle, with one end attached to the body and the other attached to the axle.
[glow=red,2,300]SAS[/glow] - Solid Axle Swap
[glow=red,2,300]T-Bar[/glow] - Torsion Bar
[glow=red,2,300]Torsion Bar[/glow] - A steel bar that is twisted to support the weight of the vehicle. Torsion bars are used in place of coil or leaf springs on some vehicles, and allow ride height to be adjusted to compensate for sage that occurs over time.
[glow=red,2,300]Trailing Arm[/glow] - A suspension element consisting of a longitudinal member that pivots from the body at its forward end and has a wheel hub rigidly attached to its trailing end. A sufficiently rigid trailing arm can provide all of a wheel's location. In that case it is similar to a semi-trailing arm, except that its pivot axis is exactly perpendicular to the car's longitudinal center line.
