These are the pins that came out of my 55 Clipper 5562. Does anybody know why they are different lengths and diameter? The thicker longer one came from the left (driver) side. Thanks guys.

This is covered in tech bulletin 55T-1packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/STB/55T-1.pdf but short answer is different lengths available to adjust side to side ride height due to differences in bars. The larger one does not look like a factory link though.

I'm not that familiar with 55 pins, but one looks like 55 and the other 56.

If that's true, then I should be able to turn coal into diamonds!

I didn't figure I'd have to state the obvious!
