Default Z sways installed .. centered???

I recently changed the sways on my base Vette to the Z bars. How can you tell if the bar is centered??

If there is NO other way possible for the bar to be installed then I apologize for looking crazy.

Since it can slide in the rubber insulators, I believe alignment will take care of itself. At least it seems that way. - What do others say. -- --

It will self-center and probably moves around a little anyway.

There is some side to side play, the bends in the sway bar before the isolators keep it from sliding too far.
