I was just under my 66 Barracuda trying to ID the torsion bars it's got. I saw some numbers on the end where the retaining clip is. They were '452R' and had '412' under it. Anyone know what bars these are?

452 isn't a production torsion bar it's a Mopar Performance race part with the part number P5249153. The diameter is 1.040".

All bars in the 450/460 range are race part.

Is it bad that both sides had the same number on them?

I just bought the car, so I'm trying to go over it with a fine tooth comb to fix any little problems it has.

I noticed both torsion bars have the identical '452R' markings.

No, it won't be a problem and it's normal in the size range you're asking about.

The extra large diameter bars like yours did not have a left hand/right hand bar, they use the same bar on both sides.
