Neal, you probably know this, but be sure to pack the cavity in the back with grease, keeps water-rust-corrosion from forming in the cavity. I always thought the correct twist was necessary for replacement t-bars, but lately see vendors selling t-bars that apparently work on either side. Not sure I'm comfortable with that. Why don't you call FirmFeel up in Vancouver WA. They really know their t-bars.

Subject: Re: T-bar install refresher course
Rules? Don't use vice grips or anything that will scratch the t-bar when R&R. There are ID marks on the t-bar that tells about it.
http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/suspension/mopp_9910_torsion_bar_restoration_and_detailing/identification_chart.html has an ID chart.
I think the FSM has pictures.
Drag racers often use \6 t-bars though.
Thanks,
