Toby said <snip> If you swap the bars end-for-end at the same time you swap
sides, the actuation direction would be
correct. </snip>
Take a ballpoint pen spring and try to twist it clockwise. It will probably
try to tighten the spring. Turn it end-for-end and again try to turn it
clockwise. The effect will be the same.
If that doesn't convince you, consider this. A nut doesn't switch between
"right-handed" and "left-handed" threads when you flip it end-for-end.
The torsion bars have either a right hand twist or a left hand twist
specific to the side they are made for. Turning them around for the other
side won't change the twist.
