[quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] a solid rear beam like that isnt a torsion beam, it shouldnt twist if at all[/quote] It should and does. Torsion beam means when the beam is exclusively sprung using torsion, ie. the trailing arms subject the torsion rods which run along the beam to a rotational moment. A rear beam and springs as per the Corsa or Puma doesn't exclusively rely on torsion because the trailing arms are supported by springs, however there is still a torsional moment on the beam where there are differing loadings on each wheel, the extent of which dictates the amount of roll in the rear end, which is why it matters when you do things which affect it.
