Default Sway Bar Help

Anyone have pictures of their Z51 sway bar install? I installed a set on my 06 coupe last weekend and noticed the front bar was rather close to the A-arm. Just trying to verify I didn't screw something up when I put the new bars on.

they will only go in one way... If the end links are on and the bar bolted down, its right.

.... have no fear I'm sure you isntalled them correctly.

Here's a pic I found via Google. This is the front driver side of the car looking towards the back of the car. You can clearly see how the bar "curves".

Thanks guys, I just got a little nervous when I saw how close the bar was to the a-arm.
Just needed a little reassurance.
