help ID torsion bars

[gliderider06]

Can anyone id the torsion bars I pulled from my car. I get the 892, but the left one I dont know. I also presume they are not a matched set. Thanks

The left is the logo pre 65. Dodge Chrysler plymouth desoto with L signifying left torsion bar

Have you tried to measure the diameter with calipers???

 

[gliderider06]

I did. The left one was slightly smaller. .865 vs. .868.
I have appropriately named this Duster, Pandora. The more I uncover with it, the more I find very wrong with it. It'll get fixed just longer and I will spend more than expected to get it right.
Thanks

Forgot to mention, they were installed backwards as well.

So they are pretty close in diameter. I would say that they should be equal spring rates...

Yes, Very close. I may just get some new ones that are a matched set.

There is no backwards or forwards on torsion bars. Just right and left until you get the very large bars where they are the same right and left.
