Adjustable torsion bar anchor for vehicle

A work vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle support structure having a longitudinal centerline;
• a first and second wheel assembly coupled to the vehicle support structure with each wheel assembly having a movable suspension member;
• a torsion bar coupled to each movable suspension member of each wheel assembly and to an adjustable torsion bar anchor, with the torsion bar anchors mounted opposite each other on a line traverse to the vehicle support structure centerline, each torsion bar anchor comprising:
• a bracket coupled to the vehicle support structure;
• a socket coupled to the bracket and in coaxial alignment with the torsion bar;
• an anchor member configured to couple to one end of the torsion bar, and to rotatably engage the socket, wherein the end of the torsion bar is secured to the vehicle support structure;
• a tension rod aligned traverse to the torsion bar and coupled to one end of the associated anchor member with a jam nut, wherein selective movement of the jam nut on the tension rod moves the respective anchor member causing the anchor member to rotate in the socket, wherein the torsion bar rotates moving the associated suspension member;
• and
• a tension tube configured to engage each tension rod, wherein the tension rods of each anchor are coupled together across from each other.

An adjustable torsion bar anchor arrangement in a motor vehicle having a torsion bar coupled at one end to a movable suspension member on each side of the vehicle, the adjustable torsion bar anchor arrangement comprising:

• a first and second torsion bar anchor mounted opposite each other on a line traverse to the vehicle centerline, each torsion bar anchor including:
• a means for bracketing coupled a bracket coupled to the vehicle;
• a means for securing coupled to the means for bracketing and in coaxial alignment with the torsion bar;
• an means for anchoring configured to couple to one end of the torsion bar, and to rotatably engage the means for securing, wherein the end of each the torsion bar is secured to the vehicle,
• a means for tensioning aligned traverse to the torsion bar and coupled to one end of the anchor member with a jam nut, wherein selective movement of the means for tensioning moves the respective means for anchoring causing the means for anchoring to rotate in the means for securing, wherein the associated torsion bar rotates moving the associated suspension member, and
• a tension tube configured to engage each means for tensioning, wherein the means for tensioning of each anchor are coupled together across from each other.
