the one on the left is a sway bar and the one on the right is known as a radius arm, strut rod, many other names but those two are how we know them in my shop.

Thats not even close to a torsion bar. A torsion bar replaces the springs and it twists when load is put on it, like in a ford exploder.

^ the sway goes toward the center part of the car (lengthwise, away from the front) and the radius arm goes towards the front. does that make any sense?
