It appears counter intuitive, but the sway bar drop link cupped washers each install with cup lip facing up/down. So, the concave side points away from the bushing. You can kind of see that detail in Bentley P. 40.7 Oddly, for the Syncro those washers almost look like they're installed with concave surface in towards the bushings. P. 40.26 But I digress. Neil.
