torsion bar question

No, it's OK to swap them end for end -- the twist would still be in the same direction (visualize it). The only reason you want the numbers in the rear is so the next poor sap can clean off the grease and see what you have installed in there without having to pull them.

?????????????????

The numbers on crossmember ends made no sense to me until I pulled them during my brake conversion. The LCA end had 892L on passenger side, and 893R on driver side.

Obviously they are backwards, side to side. However, since the numbers can't be read from the crossmember side, it should not matter, right?

The bars had a lot of adjustment in them before I removed them, and they held up the car with no problems since I owned the car!
