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.

This from the 2006 Legacy factory service manual:        8 Trunk Lid1.pdf

 

I'm not certain it will be of much help or not. Good Luck!

make sure none of the brackets/braces for the bars are cracked/broken.
