Default Help with C5 T1 Swaybar Install

does anyone know what orientation the spacers on the end links go in? there is a shorter one and a longer one on each endlink bolt and i am trying to figure out which one goes inbetween the bar and the end link and then i would assume the other one goes between the end link and the bolt head. for the bottom end i would assume that it is the same as the top end except instead of the bar, it is the a-arm. anyone know which is which? tia

you need to eyeball it. Get the link as parallel to the a-arm boss as possible. Each link gets a long and short spacer for each end, but I can't remember specifically which ones go where.

You want to use both on the "ball" end, as putting the bolt directly against it can keep if from rolling smoothly.

I just looked at mine...and have the "bigger" spacer in between the swivel joint and the arm...and between the upper swivel and the actual sway bar. In each case, I have the small spacer between the nut and the swivel. I'm not sure if that's exactly how it's supposed to go, but it leaves plenty of space for both the lower A-arm and the sway bar to move without ever coming in contact with the heim joint. It works.
