3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "As JD says, I'd be very wary of anything found in freepatentsonline, especially when not backed up by other sources. I found out from another reliable source that "torsion bar" is the accepted term. Thank you for your help. BTW it was actually a souped-up Fiat Punto not a Stilo!!"
