    Suspension Techniques Rear sway bar installation

    Is this the way that the rear sway bar should be installed? The instructions are wack-ass vague and I'm trying to piece it together.... If anybody has any experience with this, take a look at the pictures (sorry about the quality, took them w/ phone) and let me know if this is accurate with the spacers/bearings and washers....

    I dont want this thing snapping on a turn. thanx guys!

    oh yeah,, what the hell are those triangular metal slabs for?? I can't find where they fit anywhere...

            Forget it, i answered my own question.. One above and one below the factory tab on the control arm... 2 per side... 2 sides = 4... math is fun..

            thanx for the help guys...
