Default HELP-TRG front bushing question?

There is a fat part and a skinny part that hangs out of either end of the metal brace. I am guessin the fat part goes to the inside of the car ane the skinny part goes to the out side which goes against the metal round part with the hex nuts is that right?? It would not make sense the other way. On the rears the bushings have equal plastic out of each side. and the old front one have equal parts on each side.

Paul, I assume you are talking about the bushing that goes around the sway bar and is then clamped into place - I thought the fat part was on the outside. You fastest, best solution is probably to call Bob.

Doc, you know me a little bit, dont you think I would have called him oh maybe 6 times only to get
his voice mail which is full of course. I did get ahold of Austin by looking up DEVEK on Google and he told me it was as I thought. SO the fat part goes inside the outside has the little clamps that go to the skinny side.

I did wonder ... glad you got it in. (Why are you hard at work instead of having fun playing with the car!?)

Today is our day off-- we work 5- 9 hour days then 4 nine hour days with every other friday off.
So I was playing with the car all day. I put my PSS9's back to Street and readjusted the rear sway bar
and installed the front. Had I known about moving the steering wheel I would have done it in an
hour and a half instead of the 3 hours. Now I am off to look at an enclosed trailer!! wooohooo!!
and check out the new bars.

BTW I kinda like Doc Turtle or Doc Tom. Since I am in the fighter community we give out call signs all the time. Mine is guggie. Not real imaginitive!
I think thats your new call sign!! Theres IceMan and NOW Doc Turtle!!

See, us old farts can not only recognize a broken drop link but, if we really strain the grey matter, we might guess right on the orientation of the bushing. It simply proves I've been under the car too many times. But look at the good side, now you have something to do tomorrow too.
