I haven't installed torsion bars in years but something in the back of my mind says there is a rightside torsion bar and a leftside one as well. My new bars aren't marked either way. Thanks

The ONLY time you might want different sized T bars would be on a circle track car, and even then you would want the larger bar on the right. What are you thinking?

WRONG , depends on the car, B/E body with the factory a HEMI suspension , one T Bar is bigger than the other , I may have the sides crossed , but I know what I am talking about .... running up my post count some more .

If numbered, generally speaking, the odd numbered part goes on the driver's side of the car, the even numbered part goes on the right side of the car... Front to rear doesn't matter either for T-bars, generally, as the twist direction will be the same. However, it's preferable to have the part number on the end of the bar to the rear, so it can be looked at later while it's installed in the car. (In case you're an Alzheimer's goof, like me )

On some of the aftermarket bars including many of the larger ones from Mopar Performance, California Suspension (long out of business) and others, the hex flats are either parallel front to rear or 30 degrees clocked. These bars can be swapped left to right. With proper clocking, the t-bar adjuster will be somewhere near the middle of its range when the car is at ride hieght.
