Do two RIGHTS make a LEFT?, Torsion Rods and their description Options

[ctc911ctc]

'74 2.0 all stock, roughly 22K miles

All, I am replacing all of the replaceables on the front to refresh the ride - did the rear last year

I am powder coating the A-Arms and the Spindles Bilstein Green, as well as the stabilizer arms which will be Yellow.

I took the two torsion bars out, neither of them are damaged, all of the paint is fresh (RED) HOWEVER I was a bit confused.....

1. There is a blue strip on the torsion bar, should it be towards the front or rear?
2. BOTH of these rods are marked R as in RIGHT. There are two RIGHTS....pretty certain that these have never been out. Lot's of reasons but my question is there really a Right and Left for torrsion rods or would they put in what they have?

Thank you Teeners!

Normally the bars are installed with the L or R on the end of the bar at the rear. I think the stripe is twoard the back of the bar. It is possible to install the opposite side bar flipped end for end on the "wrong" side. They need to be twisted the same direction as they were iriginally installed.
