Default How do you install the front sway bar links? Which is left/right, what side is up/down...

I had those "upgraded" links from e-bay installed and the damn bushing slipped and im hitting metal on metal... How do the stock sway bar links go in? Got pictures? Which side is up, I noticed that the links are angled on the long side, which one is left/right...

Thanks for the help...

Thank you for the links, but I need to know which way the brackets are installed... Which side is up the bigger or smaller bushing?

I have a 2000 with the 2.8 engine... The bracket has a bigger bushing on one end, and a smaller one on the other (when I say bigger, I mean it protrudes further than the other)...
I will try and get a pic right now...

Now that I think about it, the larger of the two may go on top, maybe' it sinks into the control arm, or whatever its supported by... The bottom with the smaller bushing, would only need to support the sway bar itself... Not playing a huge role other than being mounted to the sway bar...
