according to caps the part number for a left torsion bar for my 89 LWB is MB176525.

Cross referencing the OE part online at seems to show that it is the same for montero's of years 1983-1991, whether 2.6, 3.0, LWB or SWB.

TORSION BAR-LH


It is a little confusing but I get from it is that the gen I sway-away bars for North American Montero's would be from 1983-1991.
