Frequently Asked Questions

• Why replace my torsion caps? A missing or leaking cap lets grease escape and moisture in, leading to premature wear of your needle bearings and torsion leaves. Replacing damaged caps is an inexpensive way to prevent costly suspension repairs.

• Do these come finished? No — they come in a raw finish so you can paint or powder coat them to match your suspension components.
