Abrams W/Torsion Bar Problem?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

That's what happens when you forget to check the air in the road wheels.

Looks to me like more than a torsion bar.

Never seen that much of a 'squat' before. Unless total failure of both rotary shocks, and several torsion bars along with the mine plow being mounted.

Interesting.

He looks mighty close the vehicle in front of him, is it possible he's rear-ended him and the gun tube has gone under the turret rear of the vehicle in front, wedging his front down and/or causing multiple suspension failures (aided by what I hope was heavy braking)?

no, looks like the second tank has the main gun over the back deck and getting ready to be hooked up to a tow bar by the first tank.

I have trashed power packs, final drives, a couple of torsion bars, but that appears to have been the work of an expert. Must be a good story around it.

When I was at Sierra Army Depot most of the OIF "Thunder Run" tanks were there and there were a few messed up ones. An anti-tank mine could take out a couple of torsion bars. I agree that it is being towed.

Hi Folks!

Tow Bar? Maybe there is a bar that is hooked up, the brakes on the number 2 tank are locked, and the number 1 tank backed up a little to much which could push down on the front of the number 2 vehicle?

Interesting photo. Mark, where did you find it?
