Sway Bar Links

Can someone tell me which end of the link mounts to the frame and which one mounts to the sway bar. One end of the link is wider than the other. Also, does it attach to the inside or the outside of the sway bar?

Thanks
Fred

The end links on my factory sway bar are the same size, top and bottom. And the links mount to the inside.
Oh, that is on the rear.
Front links still mount to the inside, and the small bushing is on the top with the large bushing on the bottom. Easy to remember, Big Bottom.

Hey Baja,

Nice write up on the Energy Suspension upgrade. Did that kit have end link bushings as well as the bar mounts?
And a very nice on the color of your truck. "Arrest Me Red!!"

Thanks... yeah, that kit came with end link bushings as well as the axle bushings.

haha... that's a good name for that shade of red. I've always been a big fan of red and when I was truck shopping, I went to test drive this one and when I pulled in the lot I said "ooooooh... that IS red" and my wife said "I already know we're buying this one"
