Having done a little bit of research I find I must correct my previous comment regarding the handing of torsion bars. It appears to be essential that they are put back on the side they came off. It appears that some are deliberately handed during manufacture, others not, but the latter then become handed in use. I learn for example that Jaguar E Type torsion bars are not handed during manufacture but are helpfully stamped R and L (and accordingly carry separate part numbers) only so that one knows which side they should be put back on. No help to Sam I’m afraid.
