Torsion bar setting

Yes there is a left and a right, (stamped in from the factory with numbers at the back of torsion bars) can mark each torsion bar at just in front of the the transmission cross member with a yellow parts pen L & R. Then you know which is L and R and which end is front and which end is back.

For taking them out Lube up the Adjuster Bolt with the 3/4" head (in the lower control arms) with penetrating oil a few days in advance to get them loosening up. Get the car up on jack stands. Then you can Count 5 Full Turns to loosen up the L & R Adjuster Bolts. This will take the tension off the torsion bar spring action to you can pull them out from the back. Then when you reassemble crank the adjuster bolts 5 Full Turns back up again to get the riding height of the car back to where it was before. Then you can final adjust the riding height of the car at the end of getting your car completely assembled, engine and all. Now you are ready to do the final front end alignment so it goes down the road straight and does not ware out your tires.

Be careful not to scratch the outside of your torsion bars with a Vice Grip or other tools as you are prying them out. There is an outer surface tension on the torsion bars and scratching or scoring them can give them a place to start to crack, so be careful there.

Good Luck, well on your way.
