Knowing the Left/Right  What end goes toward the LCA? Towards the rear? Does that make it twist in a different direction? Does it matter?.....

Side to side matters.  It doesn't matter which end goes towards the front or back.  The bar still twists in the same direction as long as they are installed on the correct side.  I would suggest installing them so you can see the L and R on the back side of the crossmember just so you know for certain they are on the correct side.

Agreed, I've never worried about which direction. :alan2cents:

Kind of already stated; left side or right side cannot be switched. Front to back, back to front does not  matter.  :wrenching:

This makes the most sense.

 :ohyeah: Thank-You for all the replies, Ultimately I wanted to index them exactly as they were in 1992 when I removed them from a 1969 GTX.
