Thanks all..

Obviously, flipping it is a ten minute deal, but it rubs me wrong when the installer does it and says it okay like that.

He left my steering wheel crocked after the install as well. Also a ten minute fix that I took care of, but it's ten minutes for me, it's five for the shop...

Sloppy....

Alright, I'm confused. When you all are saying flip it, do you mean top to bottom or rotate it left to right 180 degrees? What looks funky? I just did a spring/shock/sway bar link on mine, and am curious, because it looks fine to me.
Thanks

Left to right 180 degrees.

Top and bottom are the same.

If you look close, you 'll see the ends are welded on to the link rod at about a 10 - 15 degree angle. But on the passenger side in my picture it is on backwards. Top/bottom orientation is correct, but it needs to spin 180 degrees.

Doing it tomorrow..

I see what your talking about. To clarify, the TF sway bar links just have bushing on either end that accept thru bolts? The stock ones that I have have a bushing on the lower, and a ball joint with an integrated bolt on the upper.

According to the Teraflex Video the Sway Bar links in the front does have a position -

Thanks.. that vid is for the Budget Boost.

The end links look slightly different than what I have with the leveling kit.

I removed the passenger side link today and confirmed two things.. it was installed backwards and it was installed without grease.

Fix took all of ten minutes but it absolutely has a right and wrong way to be installed.

I got the performance leveling kit andthe links came with metal sleeves in the rubber bushings on only one end. Northridge worked with me awesome to get teraflex to send new links. The new set only had one metal sleeve on one link on one end. I quit and ordered quick discos from jks from northridge.
