Default sway bar bushing question

Just received my new poly front sway bar bushings with the offset hole "to reduce bind on the end links", but without directions on how to install them.

So, anybody know which way do they go in, thinner part towards to the front or thinner part to the rear ???

Energy suspension? Where it bolts to the lower A arm?

Yes its an energy suspension piece.

The bushing are the ones that bolt the center of sway bar to the frame. The hole the bar passes through is off-set from center.

Thinner part with the cut goes towards the front.
