Front Sway Bar

Stupid questions. Can a front sway bar be installed backwards or is there only one way to do it?

i think the angle on the links would be so wacky that you would notice it

I have the front wheels off and looked under the car. I noticed the Hotchkis sticker was upside down, then looked around and the end link connections looked funny. Thanks

Are you sure the endlinks are tightened securely? This may sound crazy but are you sure you actually have Hotchkis swaybars and not just a Hotchkis sticker on your swaybars?

I have been taking mine on and off for the drag strip and I am pretty sure it only fits one way (and I tried the wrong way and the end links just will not come close). I bet its just the sticker. Anyone else know better?????

Definitely Hotchkis bars. I also think it is just the sticker. Thanks.

The way these bars bends around everything out on the ends I don't think there is anyway they would even come close to fitting upside down. But the stickers will fit upside down!
