G-body front swaybar pics needed please
 
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I am worried that I installed my front swaybar upside down.

I purchased the Suspension Techniques 35mm front swaybar and installed it on the car. And thought I had it right until the other day was looking on Cardomain and saw another Cutlass that has the same bar and it appears to be upside down from mine.

So if there are some G-Body guys here that could get me a picture or two of their swaybar where it is curved out in the wheel well, I would appreciate it.

Here's a picture of mine as it sits currently:

And the cardomain page for that other Cutlass that has the same bar shows the bar installed basically upside down from where I have it, so instead of that part being curved up, it's cuved down.

Mine with the old engine... it never occured to me that it could be upside down... perhaps it will affors more tire clearance?? I just inatalled it with the hotchkiss right side up....

Here is the cardomain page I'm referring to.

If you look at his sway bar pictures, #14, 22 and 23 I believe you can see that his bar is mounted upside down from mine and we are both using the same sway bar.

This is why I'm so confused.

I know you have it on correct, but I'll double check the one on mine at lunch and let you know.

The part number on the center of my bar at home appears upside down when looking from the top of the engine bay.

ElkyZO6, did you have a chance to go look at lunch and verify for me?

My factory bar is installed the same way, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I spoke to the manufacturer Friday, and they looked at the pictures of mine and the other guy's and he said that mine looks fine, so I'm not worried any more.

ElkyZO6, thanks for checking yours too! I had them on the phone about the time you posted your reply.
