Location: D-70199 Heslach		I have a 57 Desoto Fireflite Wagon (S26) but I am a bit confused about the parts numbers on Torsion Bars

Mine (I think there were from the beginning) named 1635960 and 1635961, but in MoPar's Parts List is described as if it were not for an Sub.

Location: bishop, ca		The 960/961 bars may be analogous to the DOD/PLY 950/951 bars, in that they were the lightest weight (thinnest)
available.

Suburbans (wagons) should have the Heavy Duty bars; your wagon may have had the 963/964 bars.

As you can see, on your page, the S27 (Firesweep) models (which were built on the Dodge assembly lines) that
they have the HD 952/953 bars.

So, your car "should" probably have had the HD FireFlite/Suburban bars (963/964?).

Maybe your car's OO [original-owner---now there's a 'new' acronym!!!] complained about the ride characteristics and his
dealer knew about changing the T/bars, or, maybe there was a production line mistake--or, even [unlikely], a Special
Order about having the lighter weight bars installed---or, maybe, one of the OEM [we know 'this' one] T/bars broke
and those 960/961 bars either happened to be in stock, or were ordered by mistake, or intent.

Possibilities.

And, if your ride were originally an Export model, it probably should have had the Extra-Heavy-Duty
(front and rear) suspensions in it.

This car was not an Export model. The only possibility is that the OO has some problems. I don't think it was at assembly line because S27 and S26 was a different assembly line-
