Sway-A-Way 26mm Rear Torsion Bars — 4340 Chromoly, 21¾" Length | VW Bug & Bus 1954–1959

Eliminate Rear-End Sag and Dial in Your "Cal Look" Stance.

Upgrade your vintage Volkswagen’s suspension with the industry standard in high-performance torsion bars. These Sway-A-Way (SAW) 26mm Torsion Bars are engineered specifically for the 1954–1959 VW Bug and early Bus models utilizing the "short" 21-3/4" torsion housing.

Whether you’re building a high-horsepower Cal Looker or a precision-handling street cruiser, these bars provide the structural integrity and spring rate required to handle modern driving demands. Crafted from certified 4340 aircraft-grade chromoly and heat-treated for maximum longevity, they offer a significant performance increase over stock stamped-steel components.

For the air-cooled enthusiast, the 26mm diameter is the "Sweet Spot." It is stiff enough to prevent the "squat and steer" effect during hard acceleration—keeping your swing axle geometry consistent—while remaining forgiving enough for comfort
