Which is left/right sway bar link?
Which is left/right sway bar link?
Hi all,
My wife's back from her 3rd trip to the parts store this time I removed my sway link bars to get them replaced under warranty. She came home with two sway bar links in a plastic bags, no markings on either the bags or the sway bar links so before I go to the trouble of bolting them all together, can anyone offer a hint on how I identify the left from the right?
If I orientate them so a pair of bolts are facing away from me, and they are next to each other, the other bots appear to be sticking out at an angle. Can anyone use this to suggest which is the right or wrong way? A test fitting seems to show they could go either way I know they're different.
Thanks,

It's difficult to tell from a 2 dimension picture. I've tried.
Anyway, I think I figured it out, It looks like you can't get the outer tie rod end into the knuckle if you have it the wrong way because the angle is wrong. At least that is what I think. I bolted one in and it seems a bit out. I'll swap them out tomorrow and see.
