Idiot (me) desperately needs help...

I'm getting ready to put my front suspension back together and I can't figure out which end of the torsion bars face front or back. Is their a trick to figuring this out? I searched, but couldn't find anything in past posts. I'm kicking myself for not marking them when I pulled them out.

Either the splines only engage 1 way, or it doesn't matter. Whichever way they go in, suspension loads act on them in the same direction, just don't mix up L & R.

Look at the ends. One end has the size stamped in it. That faces back.

Factory parts are also marked "L" and "R".
