I lost one of the torsion bars for the hitch on my 73 AS. Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement. I can't find one with the cupped end.
Thanks

I suggest etrailor.com. I just ordered a part from there, and the reviews are very favorable. The explanatory materials on their website are outstanding.

Curious if anyone would recommend replacing torsion bars in matched pairs versus replacing the lost one. Wondering if a symmetry in tension left to right is necessary for proper function?

Excellent point. The 2 bars can be slightly different due the uneven ware. A big difference can cause handling issues. I have noticed strange bouncing and found out that one side had an extra link adjusted.
Thanks for all the info, it's a big help. The engineering department felt there wouldn't be enough difference to create a problem. I'll have the guys in our shop run a check on the tension and compare the two.
