06 Legacy Limited Trunk Torsion Bars

[06SubLegTx]

Hello,

 

I have a Legacy and when I release the trunk, I hear only a click (latch release) the trunk will not raise by itself from that position.

 

I have purchased New Subaru Trunk Torsion Bars for it and going to put them on, but I need to know the correct positioning of the contact between the Torsion Bar and the Swivel Lever it attaches to.

 

The the Bend in the Torsion Bar Correct (Like attached Image) or the other way?

 

On my car now the bend is in the same position.

 

The guy at Subaru said there is a Driver Side(L) and Passenger® does the one that is driver mean that the s part goes in the driver side or the part that presses on the lifting portion

 

I hope this makes sense

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

I can't be 100% sure, but if they're labeled L and R, I would have to assume that is the side they attach to. I can't imagine why they would be labeled as L if it attaches to right side. I get what you're saying about it applying pressure to the opposite side to hold the lid open, but from a mechanical standpoint I have never heard of such a thing. It is almost always in reference to which side of the car the part is installed on.
