Combination of torsion bar springing with electric servo system in suspensions is responsible for vastly improved riding qualities; servo system keeps car level at all times regardless of load distribution in seating and luggage compartments; torsion bar suspension makes use of fact that steel rod secured at one end will twist and untwist in fashion of spring when intermittent torques are applied at free end.
