Sway Bar mounting

Hey I was just wondering if anybody could post up pictures of how their front sway bar is mounted on the end links..I feel like I just put it on backwards today

..I'm pretty sure I did at least..and I feel retarded.

Thanks

I mean with with way the ends flare. Do they flare towards the endlink or away? I'm guessing they're supposed to flare away..

Oh, haha.
Post a picture of how it's installed so I can see what kind of flare you're talking about.
But, in my experience.
At least with my Miata.
My sway bars flare was outwards, not inwards.

The hole the endlink goes through should be angled, with the angle matching that of the control arms.

So for example if you're looking from the driver's seat the driver's side sway bar should be angled down and left, correct?
