I recently purchased a pair of torsion bars that the seller stated were the heavier Huber ones. They measure 1.26 in diameter, have a 'Sway-A-Way' sticker and are painted (probably powder-coated) RED. I measured my OEM ones and they ar 1.21" diameter. From some research on this forum, I learned that the first run of Huber bars were WHITE. One end of these bars have a longer hex than the other; 1-3/4" vs 1-1/8" (Approximately - the ends have a rubber cover that I didn't remove.

I suspect these are the second batch that Bill Huber had made. Can anyone confirm that the second batch was RED?

Thanks!
