Thanks Chuck It does make a difference if they are the OEM ones from Mopar, there should be a L and R on one or both ends depending on the years and body styles The L is left and the R is right(passenger side) I have and use a 1971 Plymouth service manual and it says to put the numbers to the front so the letter (L&R) are to the rear, my A body six cylinder bars has the letters and numbers on both ends Last edited by Cab_Burge; 12/26/09 09:47 PM.
