I was wondering are the 911 and 914 Torsion bars the same?? Can the 911 torsion bars from 66-89 be interchangeable for a 914-4

I believe the splines are different. If you use the 911 torsion bars, you have to use the 911 A-arms as well.

Yes the spline count is different..
plus the spring rate is different too... The usual # thrown around is technically rounded up but the 911 is commonly known as a 19mm bar which is more than the 914... b |

Yup...diff...UNLESS you swap in a 911 front end...then you can use 911 t-bars...
