Hey guys, I have a buddy that is restoring a 67' Barracuda and he thought he had the torsion bars marked when he pulled it apart, but he can't tell now. He has is back together, but we are not sure if they are installed correctly. Is there any way of telling which side and direction they go back together? Thanks a bunch!
