 |
|
These came in a box when I bought a VW generator. The seller said he didn't put them there. (maybe he was just getting rid of stuff lol).
What are they for?
They are stamped with Keyway 3 They are big & heavy.

Those are for a truck/SUV front suspension that utilizes a torsion bar set up. Depending on index angle, it will raise the front suspension a few inches.
NOT an aircooled VW component

Not until you need one, most likely.

What's scrap go for by you?
there are a lot of other things that'll break first and if someone did break one they'd probably go aftermarket. google shopping comes up with ~90-150 a pair new with warranty for '05 GM so IF you find someone looking, probly less than 1/3 that if you can wait on it.

I worked for Ford until a few years ago. Those torsion bar ends could be for either a 1999 -2007 Silverado 4wd or a 1997 - 2003 F150 4wd. If it is the Ford part it will give a couple of inches of lift to a Chevy. Is there a part # on it?
