Bill, think someone cut the front off one of those bars? The snubber position seems to show one hole or two holes available for the one bar.

Sam the second hole on the longer yellow bar was added. I can tell that because the second hole is not on the reinforcement plate inside the bar where the snubber screws in. The second hole was added to the longer bar so that the snubber would contact the springs in the same spot for both bars. What got me going on this subject again was the picture above from &quot;ChevyandPontiac&quot; also shows unequal length bars.

In all these years Bill I have never seen or maybe forgot that I ever saw uneven traction bars. I am updating my mind daily lately! Thanks to all you guys for posting this stuff.
