Does the arrow on the end

of the torsion bar face the front or back of the truck. Bought used bars and need to install them in the correct direction.

 

There is no front or back, they look the same on both ends. The arrow denotes the factory direction of rotation, and I would put the bars in to match the way they originally rotated. Also, there's left and right, because the torsion bars are not the same length. Hopefully you bought B or 1 code bars because the F bars have a bad tendency of sagging, which I assume is why you're replacing yours. Even the B bars aren't that great.

 

What then is the arrow for?

 

its the direction of the tension.

 

Thanks for the info. Bar is installed and working well.

 

If I buy new bars, do they both need to be code 1 or B bars or is it same same?

You want the same spring rate on both sides, so don't mix them.
