Installing a stock front sway bar and looking to put the drop links in to finish the job. I noticed that on both links one end of the rings are kicked off at a slight angle. Can anybody tell me how these are situated? The only picture I can find does'nt show it. Thanks

If you set the car down on all 4's and hold the link up in there with the wheel turned, it should be obvious which way it goes. Good luck.

Ok, With the car in the air on a jack stand, use your floor jack to lift the control arm up to where it would be on the ground and hold the drop link in place and see which way it goes in. Then lower the arm and install the drop link in the most obvious position. Then install the wheel and do the other side and then install both wheels and torque the lug bolts and take it for a drive and enjoy the more positive and flat feel of a true performer.
