Installing the lift

[jdlsantos]

Hi guys
I am just installing my lift, before that i read a lot information about it, there are some very nice threads, but like is normal always are questions when the working is in process.
I saw that the torsion bar are well labeled LH & RH, but also I saw that at the end of one side there is an arrow market. I wonder if this arrow should be located at the rear end or front end?
I checked the FSM and it say that the arrow should be at the rear end, but this is with the OEM T-bar, i have to assume that is the same with the OME 303001 t-bar?
any comments will be appreciated.
thanks

When I did mine I did not pay attention to direction, just the sides. I am not sure if this makes a difference but 10K later she rides great.

It seems the arrow should be at the rear end of the bar. Or at least this is what I read in the instructions. Have fun

I just found the T-bar instruction, and it looks like the T-bar can be installed with the arrow either way front end or rear end, but still a little confused because they called master spline to ones of the t-bar end.

The document you attached says:
"Where the torsion bars have the SAME spline sizes at each end, the torsion bar can be installed with EITHER end to the front"

The emphasize is mine.

Do your torsion bars have the same size spline on both ends?

Thanks for the replies.
Just to close the cycle.
I checked again the T-bars, and both splines are exactly the same, so, followed the ARB instruction, the conclusion is that the t-bar can be installed with either end to the front.
