Rear stab end links (little dog bones) - which way up?
 

Putting my car back together after a year (started due to changing fuel lines, which led to basically cleaning and painting and dropping sub-frame...you know how it goes lol).

The rear end link dog bones, where they connect the bar to the control arm - one round portion is bigger in diameter than the other. Which one goes where? I don't suppose it's crucial, but have been wrong before.

I guess this is more 86-88, as IIRC the 89-91's are a little different.

Thanks all.

(will google images but who says I'll get an accurate pic lol)

edit: google images didn't help. The difference is small between the two dogbone holes where the bushings go, but it's there. They use the same diameter bolt, though.

Spoke to Mazdatrix. Was told they only sell the aftermarket links, and they didn't remember the dog link round portions being different. But he did say to place the smaller side on top, as that's usually the side with clearance issues. So I did.

As I said, the difference is really small, and I don't expect any issues either way. If I do encounter a problem, I'll post up.
