71 challenger Trunk torsion bar
« on: October 08, 2006 - 06:39:45 PM »
Been trying to figure out how to re-install my trunk torsion bar. The car has been apart for about 20 years. For some reason, my 71 shop manual shows 2 bars. I only have one bar and I'm sure I remember having only one. I tried the search feature but all photos have been deleted. I'd be grateful if someone could post a picture of both sides.
 Thanks in advance,
71 challenger R/T "N" code W/ 440+6 Automatic.

71 had only 1 T bar , it drops into 2 hooks near the trunk pivot , it has a nylon slider to push against the hinge on 1 side & the Z shaped end is loaded & snapped into the slots on the other hinge bracket
 sorry no pix
