2 Front Sway Bar Questions?
Hi!
1) Does the "bump" in the center of the front sway bar face up or face down?
2) My new bar has poly bushings.
Does the split in the bushing face the front or the rear when installed?

The front one on mine the dip goes towards the back.... it seems yours is different, I don't think it matters as long as it does not interfere with the radiator or anything else.. my front bar is HUGE...VBP
Rear faces up, if that means anything....
and as far as the poly bushing placement goes...by going out there and looking how they are so tight in the full metal bracket, I don't think that it matters at all....
hope that helped...

I think I would have lost my $5. The 2 bars I have go "back" and down very slightly.
Clams I'm sure someone will chime in that can actually look at their car or take a pic but if you hold it up you will see the ends will be at a bad angle if you put it on wrong.

it faces up (on my 76 at least)
and the slit faces towards the back (again on my 76)
and also the bowl like indent on the ends where the control arms bolt up faces up so that should solve that problem
hope that helps
