2004 F250 Sway Bar Bushing Replacement There are some pictures in this link. It looks like the wider (metal part) goes down.

I actually installed mine backwards when I replaced them and had to go back and correct my write up. I asked on here and also checked out quite a few other SD's in person before finding out I had them backwards.

The pic from the write up shows the right way.

Jason, I think that I have provided people with this link to your right up about three times in the past week. I used it as a reference when I replaced my bushings and it was very helpful. I have looked at the other right ups that you have done and they are all very good. Thank you, and keep up the good work. Rep points to you.
