Torsion bar install question? left or right?
« on: November 07, 2009 - 11:20:29 AM »
Does it matter which side torsion bars go on? I have mopar part #' P1857784 and P1857785. i know this sounds like a stupid question but i cant find a reference for which side they go on anywhere.  i really want to install today but dont want to reverse.

Part numbers that end in an odd number are for the left(driver side) Even are for the  right(passenger side).

Good idea to ask that before install. I installed my new torsion bars a few years ago backwards and I discovered a new meaning for the term low rider.  lol
