    how does the front sway bushing mount?

    I see a tab and a bolt hole, the bolt hole is easy enough to figure out but the front tab doesn't seem to mount to anything - anybody got a pic? realoem is all but useful for this.

    Are you talking about part #3? If you are, I admit is a bitch to put in since the new bushing is bigger then the space in the bracket. To get the bracket up against the frame so you can put on the bolt, I had to use a jack to push it up.

      The tab tucks into the slit opposite of the bolt hole. When you are installing it, make sure you tuck the tab in first, then screw in the nut. Once you see you the slit, it will all make sense

        balls, gotcha - jack idea sounds like the best bet.
