Review on Donepart 1641NR 2RS Garage Torsion Bearings by Dave Brummet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Smooth running without play

There are so many garage torsion zone bushings right out of the box and they're starting to play. That's when you shake and everything inside rattles. Not good. These don't have this problem. I have just replaced a poorly made set see 1st photo. It's pretty easy - use a vise and some homemade holes, you can make them out of 2x4 pipes or PVC. DO NOT hit with a hammer! You have to express them in and out. The end result is much stronger, EXTREMELY smooth and looks like they will last a lifetime on my monster feathers. Unlike traditional 1/8" socket bearings, they don't have that, but don't worry. This is actually a good problem, see 2nd photo. I ended up using 2 bearings! YES, 2 bearings instead of 1, this kit comes with 4 so you're covered! Make sure you add some engine oil to fit them, they are a little tight. It definitely won't work if you don't plan to change our torsion bar. I highly recommend it. This is when you upgrade to a brand new torsion bar. You will need to add class 8 washers in between when pulling it up to the header. Make sure there is no gap, go through the hardware store and buy extra 0.5" nuts, washers and bolts longer than what you are using. Make sure they are 8th grade! It is pretty cheap so don't skimp.

Pros
  • 100% dimensional accuracy for an optimal fit.
Cons
  • Something else
