Just to double check do the front and rear torsion bars have a different amount of splines?
When I got mine powder coated I forgot to mark which was which, the new bars iv purchased are not marked either!
Does anyone know how many spines the fwd one has and how many the aft one has?

21mm bars should have markings at the double ended stud end.

2 markings is n/s

3 markings is o/s

they have the same number of splines, i.e they are identical in fit, but are handed.

When I have a load of 20mm torsion bars powdercoated, I either stamp the ends with 1 or 2, or put 1 or 2 dots with a centre punch Wink
